Hey amigos! 🌎 Did you hear? UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres just made a powerful call to action! 📣 On the International Day against Nuclear Tests (August 29), he urged the world to ban nuclear testing \"for good.\" 🛑☢️
Over the past eight decades, more than 2,000 nuclear tests have been conducted at over 60 sites around the globe. 😱 That's left behind a scary legacy of destruction, making lands uninhabitable and causing long-term health issues for people. Not cool! 😔
Guterres warned that recent talks about resuming nuclear testing show that we've forgotten—or are ignoring—the terrible lessons of the past. \"The world must speak with one voice to end this practice once and for all,\" he stressed. 🗣️👏
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) is the only global agreement that prohibits all nuclear testing, and it's essential for our security. 🔒 But here's the kicker: it's still not in force! 🚫
\"In the name of the victims of nuclear tests and future generations,\" Guterres said, \"I call on all countries whose ratifications are needed for the Treaty to enter into force to do so—immediately and without conditions.\" 🌐✍️
It's time to pass this \"test for humanity\" and ban nuclear testing for good! Let's make our voices heard and create a safer, happier world for everyone. 🌟🌈
