Nuclear testing harms the environment, undermines economic development, and has devastating effects on people’s lives and health. It is a relic of the past that has no place in the 21st century.
“Nuclear tests do not prove strength. They shatter trust, invite reciprocal tests, fuel a nuclear arms race and betray every community still living with the legacy of past nuclear tests,” said
#UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres on Saturday's International Day against Nuclear Tests.
“The world must never witness another nuclear explosion.”
