INES/Abolition2000 releases report with the following recommended steps:

1. We urgently warn against a dangerous situation developing in the further
   militarization of outer space from the testing of anti-satellite weapons.
2. We strongly recommend that attention should be focused on banning
   both missile defense and anti-satellite systems globally.
3. We demand an immediate halt to the deployment of missile defense
   systems in Europe and the removal of existing systems.
4. We recommend that the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty between
   U.S. and Russa be revived immediately and discussions toward
   achieving a multilateral treaty be vigorously and seriously pursued.
5. We resolutely support moves to create Nuclear Weapon Free Zones in
   Europe and the Middle East.
6. We welcome Japan’s decision not to proceed with the procurement of
   the Aegis Ashore missile defense system and urge Japan to sign and
   ratify the TPNNW.
