Secretary-General's Statements
Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are not utopian ideals.
They are critical to global peace and security.
We have a legal and moral obligation to rid our world of nuclear tests and nuclear weapons.
When we put an end to nuclear tests, we get closer to eliminating all nuclear weapons.
A world free of nuclear weapons will be safer and more prosperous.
