80 years after the Trinity test, its legacy reminds us why ending nuclear tests matters. #CTBT provides the legal framework, verification system and commitment we need. I encourage all States to show leadership & take concrete steps to strengthen non-prol. & disarmament efforts.

Through the Treaty of #Pelindaba, Africa has sent a powerful message: no nuclear testing on its soil. This commitment strengthens the norm that keeps our world safer, and it’s right at the heart of #CTBTO’s mission. Let’s keep moving forward and bring our Treaty into force.
