CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) Created in 1958 under the presidency of Bertrand
Russell, it was pledged to the abandonment of British nuclear weapons. Support for the
CND split the
Labour Party, which voted in 1960 for unilateral disarmament, only to reverse its stand in 1961. Frustration at lack of progress led to the creation by Russell of a splinter group in 1962, the Committee of One Hundred. Created to counter attempts to pin responsibility on a single invidiual, it aimed at inciting mass civil disobedience. From 1963 to 1980 the CND all but disappeared, but it revived in the 1980s in reaction to the deployment of US cruise missiles in Britain. Again, the Labour Party's support for the CND became very controversial and contributed to the breakaway of the
Social Democrats in 1981. It also contributed to the lack of Labour's electoral credibility among most voters during the 1980s. Following the end of the
Cold War, CND has lost much of its support.
