National/Parliamentary Sections

PNND members are welcome to form country groups, in consultation with the PNND coordinators, consisting of members of their national assembly from different political parties.

PNND National Sections facilitate dialogue about, and engagement in, nuclear disarmament issues, and can decide to focus on certain areas relevant to their country.

PNND National Sections maintain a non-partisan approach and thus do not adopt policy or promote parliamentary resolutions or legislation that would not be supported across the political spectrum. However, PNND National Sections are encouraged to provide a forum for sharing information and a range of perspectives with parliamentarians about nuclear weapons issues, practices, related legislation and disarmament initiatives. This could include initiatives arising from individual parliamentarians, parliamentary caucuses or other parliamentary groups.
