एस्टाना (आईडीएन) – जब 29 अगस्त को स्थानीय समय अनुसार 11 बज कर 5 मिनट पर कज़ाकिस्तान की राजधानी एस्टाना में परमाणु हथियारों के परीक्षण के शिकार लोगों की स्मृति में मौन रखा जा रहा था, लगभग 2713 मील (4365 किलोमीटर) दूर उत्तरी कोरिया ने एक मध्यवर्ती रेंज की बैलिस्टिक मिसाइल दागी जो जापान के ऊपर से उड़ कर गई: इसी दिन कज़ाकिस्तान में संयुक्त राष्ट्र के परमाणु निगरानी विभाग के तत्वावधान में एक नई सुविधा का उद्घाsटन किया गया, जो अप्रसार के क्षेत्र में एक नया अध्याय साबित हो सकती है।

第72回国連総会にあわせて9月20日に開かれた署名式は、122カ国の圧倒的多数の賛成を得て(反対はオランダ1カ国、棄権はシンガポール1カ国のみ)採択された核兵器禁止条約に署名国として加わる国がますます増えることが見込まれる中、継続する見通しだ。

条約交渉が、市民社会組織からの力強い支持を得て粘り強く取り組まれてきた背景には、「核兵器のない世界」を実現し維持するために必要な規範的枠組みの中で、核兵器の禁止が不可欠な要素であるとの認識が世界的に強まってきた現実がある。それは、核軍縮に関する具体的な進展が長らく見られないことに対する不満や、核兵器がもたらす人道被害に対する考慮から生じた、性急あるいは軽率な動きではない。むしろ、人類が長らく抱えてきた熱望に対応するものだ。

UNITED NATIONS (IDN) – Six days after the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons – the first multilateral legally-binding instrument for nuclear disarmament to have been negotiated in 20 years – opened for signature on September 20, the General Assembly held a high-level meeting to commemorate the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.

Ministers and representatives of 46 Member States, delegations, the United Nations system and civil society took the floor on September 26 against a backdrop of rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, stressing the urgent need for firm political will to advance towards the total elimination of all nuclear weapons by taking to an inclusive, step-by-step approach.
