ntil now, no lessnumber of UN member states are not well aware of the fact that the issue of the Korean peninsula has its origin in the U.S. hostile policy on the DPRK. Worse still, they haveamisconception thatthe U.S. has become hostile towards the DPRK due to the nuclear issue.When it comes to the nuclear issue, it is not the DPRK's possession of nukes that the U.S. became hostile towards us.

The mechanisms of disarmament as well as the measures of non-proliferation and confidence building have been stalled. Nepal calls for general and complete disarmament of all weapons of mass destruction in a time-bound and verifiable manner.

e cannot increase our security by increasing our potential to destroy. And, most of all, by hanging on to the myth of nuclear deterrence. We need to eliminate these horrendous weapons of mass destruction. Their prohibition is a first step.

Iran’s continued escalation of nuclear activitiesfar beyond its commitments coupled withthe suspension of the implementation of transparency measures

errorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to non-State actors, the existence of nuclear weapons, and armed conflict top the list of global security issues

We need to protect and promote the framework for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation–first and foremost, the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Great power rivalry can threatenstrategic stability. Dialogue and cooperation are essential. The extension of the New START Treaty is a welcome step forward.The international norm against the use of weapons of mass destruction must be upheld. The increased threat from chemical weapons must be countered

The Republic of the Marshall lslands has our legacy roots as a strategic UN Trusteeship,where - despite our warnings at the time - two Trusteeship Council resolutions remainthe only instance in history where any UN organ ever specifically authorized nucleardetonations. This was part of a wider nuclear weapons testing program of 67atmospheric tests conducted by the United States as administering authority, between1 946 and 1 958 - delivering the equivalent of 1 .6 Hiroshima-sized shots every day, for 12years. The legacy of these tests remains a very contemporary threat - in our waters, ourlands and our bodies. We have recently formed a National Nuclear Commission tocoordinate effective responses, and we continue to view these impacts through a humanrights lens.Despite our commitment, we simply lack the capacity to fully address our local needs.We tirelessly underscore that no people or nation should ever have to bear a burdensuch as ours, and that no effort should be spared to move towards a world free of nuclearweapons and nuclear risk, through any and all effective pathways.

Similarly, we seek serious and sustained diplomacy to pursue the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We seek concrete progress toward an available plan with tangible commitments that would increase stability on the Peninsula and in the region, as well as improve the lives of the people in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The United States remains committed to preventing Ira- — to preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon.  We are working with the P5+1 to engage Iran diplomatically and seek a return to the JCPOA.  We’re prepared to return to full compliance if Iran does the same. 

Nuclear weapons and the corresponding technology still loom large in the security calculus of leading global powers. Nightmare scenarios can greatlybe avoided by sincere commitmentsto the nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), a foundation of global nuclear order. We hope to see progress in the NPT’sreview conference.
