2 The Nuclear Weapons Elimination Initiative, through the State of the World Forum, gathered signatures on two other abolition statements of international significance. The first, on December 5, 1996, included sixty-three retired generals and admirals from seventeen countries. Among these military leaders were U.S. Generals Lee Butler, former Commander-in-Chief of the Strategic Air Command, and Andrew Goodpaster, former Supreme Allied Commander in Europe; General Charles Horner, Commander of Allied Forces in the recent Gulf War; and Russian General Alexander Lebed. The second, on February 2, 1998, included over 130 prominent civilian leaders. Among these were fifty-two past or present presidents and prime ministers from forty-nine countries. Among them are Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Nelson Mandela.

The State of the World Forum has gathered an extraordinary community representing over one hundred nations and nearly four thousand exceptional individuals, ranging from leaders of states to poets, from scientists to youth. Its goal is to help create a more compassionate, environmentally sustainable, just and nonviolent world. The Forum has spawned several gifts to humanity, including the Global Security Institute, which is specifically dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons and is coordinating the promotion of the above statement.
