US FOREIGN AND DEFENCE POLICY

That this House is saddened, disappointed and alarmed that the present United States Administration should see fit to withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in order to facilitate their implementation of the National Missile Defence System, thus compounding the offence given to other members of the international community by their abandoning of Kyoto and the refusal of Congress to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Ottawa Agreement on anti-personnel land mines; and believes that these actions by the now pre-summit world power do not bode well for the future of planet earth and the human race.
