Comments to the media by Robert Floyd, Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.

Briefing the press after the Security Council meeting, CTBTO Executive Secretary said, “The Non-Proliferation and disarmament architecture must be protected and strengthened in this current context. The CTBT has already been a great success in seeing almost the end to nuclear testing in the 27 years that the treaty has been open for signature.”

Answering a question, he said, “There is a commitment amongst even those that have nuclear weapons to a moratorium on testing. We want to keep building on that and define the pathway in geo strategic circumstances to move towards a legally binding ban on testing. And then ultimately, that as a step towards a world without nuclear weapons. Not an easy path - implied in your question - but not a path which is impossible. It's worth it.”
