PACDAC meeting statements May 2009 The Public Advisory Committee on Disarmament and Arms Control (PACDAC) met in Wellington on 7 May to discuss policy issues and the administration of the Peace and Disarmament Education Trust (PADET). PACDAC member Alyn Ware and former PACDAC member Kate Dewes called into the meeting from New York to brief the committee on progress at the Third Prep Com of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The committee discussed opportunities for New Zealand to promote nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation through the NPT and other fora. The committee sought an update on New Zealand’s progress to ratify the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions and encouraged the government to send a high-level delegation to the Second Review Conference of the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, which opens in Cartagena, Colombia on 30 November 2009. PACDAC also discussed a range of issues relating to the administration of PADET, including the application process, criteria for grant-making, and ways to publicise the fund's availability. The meeting concluded with the committee's first meeting with Hon Georgina te Heuheu, Minister for Disarmament and Arms Control, to discuss her disarmament priorities. The next PACDAC meeting in July 2009 will consider grant applications.
