Let it stay in the textbooks: Guterres stated that humanity should be eliminated nuclear weapons

The UN Secretary General is convinced that the world has encountered a greater level of danger of nuclear weapons than in the Cold War.

The UN General Assembly founded on September 26, the International Day for the Full Elimination of Nuclear Weapons (UND).

In this regard, the Secretary General of Anthony Guterres said the world faced such a threat to the use of nuclear weapons that was not observed during the heat of the Cold War. In order to eliminate the danger of mutual destruction, humanity should be completely eliminated.

The UN Secretary General noted that this level of nuclear destruction has arisen due to geopolitical distrust and global rivalry, and all many years of efforts to prevent the use, distribution and testing of nuclear weapons were eventually nullified. "Humanity faces the threat of forgetting lessons extracted from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The geopolitical tension has reached new heights," Guterres said.

According to him, the member states of the nuclear club are trying to "ensure imaginary security", investing huge funds in the armament of "Judgment Day", which has no place on the planet. Secretary -General called the world community to work to completely eliminate weapons of mass destruction, at the same time stressed that reducing the risks in this aspect is absolutely not enough.

To do this, it is necessary to involve diplomatic instruments and to dialogue on the complete elimination of nuclear threats.

"The only way to eliminate nuclear danger is to eliminate nuclear weapons.
