Our President, Dr. Ivana Nikolić Hughes, delivered a statement on behalf of NAPF at the NGO Session of the 10th NPT Review Conference. The session took place in General Assembly Hall at the United Nations in New York on August 5, 2022.

We are inspired by remarks from the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, who delivered his statement to the NPT Review Conference on August 1, 2022. Secretary-General stated that “humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation. We need the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as much as ever.” Watch the entire statement:
