Resolution

The General Assembly is calling for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation by acknowledging that nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat and do not contribute to peace and security. While some nuclear states have reduced stockpiles, others are increasing or modernizing their arsenals. The Assembly notes progress in treaties like the NPT and TPNW but expresses concern that the CTBT has still not entered into force after 25 years. It highlights the importance of transparency and verifiability in disarmament agreements and calls for resources spent on nuclear weapons to instead support causes like education and healthcare.

The General Assembly,

Convinced that that there is no right to retain nuclear weapons, as it poses the greatest
threat to mankind and the people that live on our planet earth,

Acknowledging that nuclear weapons do not contribute to global peace and security,

Deeply concerned over the prevailing distrust among nuclear-weapon states, which
perpetuates the arms race and undermines the disarmament regime built over the past
decades,

Understanding the critical importance of actively promoting unilateral, bilateral, regional,


and multilateral treaties based on the principles of irreversibility, verifiability, and
transparency,

Highlighting the exorbitant and unjustifiable expenses associated with the maintenance
and expansion of nuclear arsenals, which could be better utilized in advancing peace,
education, poverty eradication, hunger alleviation, healthcare and countless other worthy
causes.

Pointing out that Nuclear weapons are vulnerable and their proliferation only increases
the risk of falling into the hands of non-state actors, such as terrorist groups, which
jeopardizes international peace and security,

Congratulating the first Meeting of States Parties of the Treaty on the Prohibition of
Nuclear Weapons in 2022 and recognizing the progress made towards nuclear disarmament,
including the commitment to refrain from developing, testing, producing, acquiring,
possessing, stockpiling, using, or threatening to use nuclear weapons, thereby supporting the
effective implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT),

Notting with regret that, while the two nuclear-weapons states with the largest nuclear
arsenal have made efforts to reduce their stockpiles in recent decades,, the rest of the nuclear-
weapons state have been working hard to increase the size of their nuclear arsenals,

Notting with deep concern that some nuclear-weapon states, despite reducing the number
of their nuclear weapons, continue to modernize their existing stockpiles and delivery
systems, thereby enhancing their total destructive capabilities,

Deeply concerned that, despite 25 years since its negotiation, the Comprehensive Nuclear-
Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) has yet to enter into force,

Taking note of Article 1 and Article 11 of the United Nations Charter, which promote
international peace and security as the ultimate goal for all member countries of the United
Nations,
Taking note also of the Security Council resolutions 1540 of September 24 2009 and 1540
of April 28 2004
