UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres gave a sobering speech at the UN headquarters in New York City on Tuesday regarding the long-delayed Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which he called “a critical moment to reaffirm and build on past commitments.”

As the United Nations held a high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly to commemorate and promote the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, Guterres called on all Member States to support the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and recognise its importance in preventing nuclear disasters.

“A nuclear arsenal is not self-defence. It is suicide. Today, 76 years later, we have yet to achieve the goals of that historic resolution. These weapons are not yesterday’s problem. They remain today’s threat. A clear and present danger,” Guterres said.

The plenary marking the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons started on Sunday and reconvened on Tuesday.
