Secretary-General's video message to the Opening of the First Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear weapons are a global scourge.

Today, the terrifying lessons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are fading from memory.

The once unthinkable prospect of nuclear conflict is now back within the realm of possibility.

More than 13,000 nuclear weapons are being held in arsenals across the globe.

In a world rife with geopolitical tensions and mistrust, this is a recipe for annihilation.
