STATEMENTS: Statement of the United Nations Secretary General on behalf the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons 2025; September 26th.
Nuclear weapons deliver no security — only the promise of annihilation.
The International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons calls on us to remember this central lesson of the Cold War, when humanity gambled with its very survival across decades.
Sadly, the shadow of nuclear annihilation is still with us and spreading fast, fueled by divisions and mistrust, along with rising military spending, growing stockpiles, and countries rattling the nuclear saber as a means of coercion.
Humanity is headed in the wrong direction. It’s time to chart a new course for lasting peace through disarmament.
In last September’s Pact for the Future, Member States recommitted to the goal of the total elimination of nuclear weapons. Countries must place dialogue over division and disarmament over destruction — not through words, but through action.
On this important day, I call on states that possess nuclear weapons to lift this shadow hanging over humanity. Honour your disarmament obligations and commit to the total elimination of nuclear weapons.
António Guterres.
OTHER STATEMENTS: The UN Messenger of Peace, Mr. Michael Kirk Douglas spreads the message on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons that, "a nuclear war can never be won and can never be fought.". We need disarmament now. #IDTENW

EVENTS: This Day provides an occasion for the world community to reaffirm its commitment to global nuclear disarmament as a priority. It provides an opportunity to educate the public - and their leaders - about the real benefits of eliminating such weapons, and the social and economic costs of perpetuating them.
Commemorating this Day at the United Nations is especially important, given its universal membership and its long experience in grappling with nuclear disarmament issues. It is the right place to address one of humanity's greatest challenges; achieving the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.
Achieving global nuclear disarmament is the highest disarmament priority of the United Nations. It was the subject of the General Assembly's first resolution in 1946, which established the Atomic Energy Commission (dissolved in 1952), with a mandate to make specific proposals for the control of nuclear energy and the elimination of atomic weapons and all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction.
