International Day against Nuclear Tests

29
August 2020
International Day Against Nuclear Tests was established at the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly on December 2, 2009. The new date, August 29, was established to activate the awareness of the United Nations, countries of the world, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations about the need for cessation of nuclear weapon test explosions. This condition should be considered as one of the means of achieving the goal of a nuclear-weapon-free world. In May 2010 all state parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons committed themselves to achieve the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons and marked the cessation of all test explosions of nuclear weapons as "vital task". Celebrating the annual International Day Against Nuclear Tests, we take another step towards the strengthening of peace and security throughout the world.
