I shall, thus, confine my remarks to the following points. First, this year offers a genuine and unique opportunity to move the international nuclear disarmament agenda forward, as the decision has been taken to hold a number of international events relating to nuclear disarmament. For example, while we are meeting here today, colleagues of ours are taking part in a meeting in Oslo to discuss the disastrous humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons and to throw light on the inhumane nature of these weapons and the catastrophic effects of using them, which cannot be reconciled with international humanitarian law and the laws of war. In addition to the Oslo conference, this year there have been meetings of the open-ended working group established by the United Nations General Assembly to develop proposals to take forward multilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations for the achievement of nuclear disarmament.
