UN Press Briefing-Experts Explains What a Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapons Could Achieve
On June 22, 2017 a UN media briefing took place for the United Nations Correspondents Association in New York. Nuclear experts and presenters at a UN conference to negotiate a new nuclear ban treaty discussed the current, acute state of nuclear weapons threats, the decline of the post-Cold War nuclear arms regime, and a new initiative led by non-nuclear weapons states to ban nuclear weapons. The briefing was organized by the Nuclear Information and Resource Service and co-sponsored and moderated by Physicians for Social Responsibility.
