During the 22nd Congress of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, 31 July – 6 August 1983 in Göteborg, Sweden, WILPF appealed to the two major nuclear powers and the entire arms control and disarmament community with the following proposals:
- The United States of America and the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic shall immediately suspend the production and deployment of the medium-range nuclear systems under negotiation in Geneva.
- Since the Pershing II missiles would assure a strategic potential once deployed in the FRG, the rationale for holding separate talks on medium-range nuclear forces and strategic arms disappears.
