Highlights - UN Treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons - Subcommittee on Security and Defence

Fri, 06/10/2017 - 11:52
On 11 October, SEDE will discuss the recently adopted UN Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Rooted in serious humanitarian concerns and frustration with slow progress of nuclear disarmament, according to its supporters, the Treaty represents an important milestone in multilateral disarmament efforts, as it sets up a number of norms that build upon the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and contributes to a renewed progress on nuclear arms reduction towards their eventual elimination.
