UN Secretary-General Warns of Clear and Present Danger of Nuclear Weapons

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautioned on Monday that nuclear weapons pose a "real and present danger" that remains a threat to global security today.
Guterres made the statement on the 79th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the United States during World War II, which killed an estimated 140,000 people by the end of the year. He urged the international community to stand together to condemn the use of nuclear weapons and find new solutions to bring disarmament to life.
The UN Secretary-General lamented that the lessons of Hiroshima, which once guided efforts towards disarmament and peace, have been "pushed aside" in recent times. He warned that some countries are "recklessly rattling the nuclear saber once more," threatening global security.
Guterres emphasized that the UN is committed to keeping alive the lessons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were bombed three days later, killing an estimated 74,000 people. He called on the world to join together in condemning this unacceptable behavior and seeking new solutions to prevent nuclear weapons from being used again.
The UN Secretary-General's message was a somber reminder of the devastating consequences of nuclear war, and his call for action will likely be met with concern from governments and international organizations around the world.
