Today, Ireland 🇮🇪 reaffirmed our commitment to the full implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

The #NPT was born of tension, and in the midst of crisis.

Today’s challenges call us to collectively commit once more to the NPT, to its three pillars and to the promise of a world free of nuclear weapons.
