New York: The tenth observance of the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons highlights a pivotal moment of escalating geopolitical divisions and increasing global mistrust, as noted in a recent message from the Secretary-General. This day serves as a platform for the world to unite and issue a resounding call for the abolition of nuclear arms in response to the emerging threats of a new nuclear arms race and the resurgence of aggressive military posturing.

According to United Nations Pakistan, the Secretary-General’s message emphasizes the urgency of halting the “madness” of escalating nuclear threats through disarmament and non-proliferation, which he describes as interlinked endeavors that mutually reinforce each other. The message was distributed through the channel unic-pk1agooglegroups.com and stresses the necessity for nuclear-armed states to take the lead by adhering to their disarmament commitments and categorically pledging never to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

The Secretary-General further pointed out the critical need to strengthen and adapt the existing treaties that aim to curb the proliferation and testing of nuclear weapons and achieve their total elimination. These adjustments are essential to address contemporary challenges, including technological advancements that could amplify nuclear threats.

Highlighting the outcomes of the recent Summit of the Future and the subsequent Pact for the Future, the message underscores a renewed global commitment to revitalize the global disarmament regime. This pact aims to propel the world closer to the overarching goal of completely eradicating nuclear weapons, thereby securing a safer future for all.

In his concluding remarks, the Secretary-General made a poignant appeal to the international community, stressing that the future is precariously poised and urging collective actions to permanently eliminate nuclear weapons from our world.
