Very pleased to participate in @UNIDIR and @UN_Disarmament event on incorporating gender perspective into #NPT review process

It’s of fundamental importance to promote equal, full and effective participation and leadership of #women in nuclear #disarmament and #nonproliferation

#OTD in 1996, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty opened for signature. Currently, the #CTBT has 184 signatories & 168 States Parties. Last month for #IDANT, @UN SG @antonioguterres reiterated his call for all States that have not yet done so to sign & ratify the #CTBT.

[Gustavo Zlauvinen @G_Zlauvinen]

In that sense, I have begun to see some “greet shoots of convergence” - areas where there may be fertile ground for practical steps on nuclear disarmament. I will keep on working with State Parties to pursue those green shoots and develop ideas to strengthen the NPT.

[CTBTO @CTBTO]

Out now ahead of #IDANT, our brand-new issue of #CTBTO Spectrum highlights issues vital to #NPT #10RevCon & the role of the #CTBT in the n-p & #disarmament regime. Also includes articles on the #IMS & legacy of #nuclear testing. Check it out here: https://t.co/8kwMXgbbNV

75 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, the nuclear menace is growing once again.

We must confront this existential threat & pursue a nuclear weapon-free world. We owe this to the victims of the past & future generations. https://t.co/qYMe4NLJUq

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, adopted by the @UN General Assembly in 1968, has been ratified by more countries than any other disarmament agreement. Read more about this landmark document in the #UNLibrary's online exhibit: https://t.co/7BTGoJlrK1 #UN75

75 years ago, the fireball created by the #Hiroshima bomb destroyed 13 km2 of the city and caused ca 240,000 deaths. The Vienna International Centre holds an exhibition with some of the remaining artefacts, symbols of the hideous physical effects of #nuclearweapons. #Hiroshima75

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Now is the time for global leaders to decide:

Will we succumb to chaos, division & inequality?

Or will we right the wrongs of the past & move forward together, for the good of all?

We are at breaking point. But we know which side of history we are on.
