70 per cent vaccination target must be met to ward off Omicron: WHO
Guterres ‘encouraged’ by commitment to prevent nuclear war
Fire rips into COVID treatment centre for Myanmar refugees
The Secretary-General, António Guterres, has welcomed a joint statement issued on Monday by five nuclear armed States on the prevention of nuclear war and the avoidance of the arms race.
Scientists are being trained by a UN-backed organization in methods to monitor whether or not a nuclear explosion has taken place.
The workshops have been organized by a commission known as the CTBTO which is preparing for the entry into force of a UN treaty that bans nuclear explosions anywhere in the world.
The historic treaty on banning nuclear weapons was adopted at UN Headquarters on July 7.
