Chinese Ambassador for Disarmament Affairs Li Chijiang delivered a special address on nuclear issues at the First Committee of the General Assembly on the 16th, calling on the international community to work together to address the risks and challenges in the nuclear field. Li Chijiang stressed that nuclear weapons cannot be used, and nuclear war cannot be fought. The nuclear weapon states concerned should abandon nuclear deterrence policies based on winning a nuclear war and using nuclear weapons first, and negotiate and conclude an “Mutual No-First-Use Nuclear Weapons Treaty” and an international legal instrument on non-nuclear security as soon as possible. The countries concerned should stop deploying global anti-missile systems, stop deploying strategic offensive and defensive weapons close to other nuclear weapon states, and stop advancing preparations for nuclear tests and actual nuclear weapons research and development. The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons remains the cornerstone of the international nuclear disarmament and nuclear nonproliferation system and a key pillar of the post-World War II international security order. The international consensus on a nuclear test ban cannot be challenged, and the promise of a “moratorium on nuclear tests” should be kept. All nuclear weapon states should publicly commit not to seek permanent possession of nuclear weapons and gradually advance nuclear disarmament. Countries with the largest nuclear arsenals should earnestly carry out their special and priority responsibilities for nuclear disarmament and further drastically and substantially reduce their nuclear arsenals. Efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons should not jeopardize the right of developing countries to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The peaceful use of nuclear energy cannot be used as a cover for nuclear proliferation. Individual non-nuclear weapon states have accumulated large amounts of plutonium material with no credible civilian use, push for the revision of the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles,” and publicly advocate nuclear autonomy. The international community must be more vigilant and strictly controlled.
