| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In a sign of rising frustration among states without nuclear weapons at the slow pace of disarmament efforts, the UN's disarmament committee in New York passed a resolution in November with the support of 129 states calling for the "urgent" start of multilateral negotiations to eliminate nuclear weapons and designating Sept. 26 as the international day for their "total elimination." "Our delegations joined the call of the overwhelming majority of states for more urgency, focus, and new momentum for nuclear disarmament," Ireland's representative said after the Nov. 4 vote, also speaking on behalf of Austria, Liechtenstein, Malta, New Zealand, and San Marino. |
