ask obviously the nuclear states and states that came to believe after the bombing of hiroshima nagasaki in 1945 that nuclear weapons could be an instrument to coerce other countries they called this to terence and they built then arsenals that got up to 50000 in the eighty's and somebody who has worked really hard certainly since. 1995 directly with the u. n. and the nonproliferation treaty and the comprehensive test ban treaty i think it's really important to recognize that this treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons it was negotiated in the u.n. general assembly in 2017 it is a u.n. multilateral treaty and it is as secretary general good tennis said it is a powerful important pillar in the nuclear disarmament a nonproliferation regime for the future so out task now is actually to make sure that this gets applied to all the states that have nuclear weapons or nuclear capabilities or who hosts nuclear weapons as as some nato states do and to work together to make sure now that this treaty is not just entered into force because we know that's happening but for universality and vari
