G20: "Impermissible use of nuclear weapons"
"It is essential to uphold international law and the multilateral system that safeguards peace and stability", in particular the protection of civilians and infrastructure in armed conflicts. "The use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable." Thus, citing the "war" in Ukraine, a summary note of the Indian presidency of the G20 Finance concluded in Bangalore, in one of the two paragraphs "not signed by Russia and China". A final document instead of a joint communiqué. Ministers divided over war.
In the event of a generalized nuclear war, it would be carnage in Europe and in the world with the victims that would amount to a figure of about 34 million in the first few hours alone. The terrifying prediction comes from Iriad - Archivio Disarmo - which for the evaluation used the scenario model developed by Alex Wallerstein and applied by Princeton University. The scenario, only hypothesized, would see on the one hand the Russians resorting to nuclear weapons thus breaking the unwritten pact that keeps nuclear powers from 'first use', and on the other hand the possible response of the United States.
The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has once again called for the destruction of nuclear weapons in the world. According to AAA, Guterres, today, in a message to mark World Anti-Nuclear Test Day, stressed that the world has been held hostage enough to nuclear weapons, an end to weapons testing and called for the implementation of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. The Secretary-General of the United Nations regretted the end of the 10th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) without adopting the final document and noted that the tense international atmosphere and the increased risk of using nuclear power, whether by accident or miscalculation, requires immediate and decisive action.
António Guterres called on all countries of the world to engage in dialogue, diplomacy and negotiation to reduce tensions, nuclear dangers and eliminate nuclear threats once and for all. A world free of nuclear weapons is still the top priority of the United Nations. The 10th NPT Review Conference kicked off after two and a half years of postponement on August 1 with representatives from 188 member countries attending the United Nations Secretariat in New York, and Friday, August 26, was the last day of unfolding. The NPT Review Conference has been held every five years since 1970, but it was not held two years ago due to the Corona epidemic, and the 10th conference was held this year.
The three main topics of this conference are nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation, and peaceful use. It was about nuclear energy, and both nuclear-weapon countries and non-nuclear-weapon countries were active in this conference. Earlier, Majid Takht Ravanchi, Ambassador of Iran and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, referring to the Zionist regime's possession of hundreds of nuclear warheads and some countries' support for this regime and the need for a free West Asia from nuclear weapons, underlined the decisive position of the countries in the 10th review conference of the NPT.
