International Day Against Nuclear Tests
The motion
That the Parliament notes that 29 August each year marks the UN-recognised International Day Against Nuclear Tests; acknowledges that, since 16 July 1945, almost 2,000 tests have taken place; notes that, in 2009, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted Resolution 64/35, which called for increasing awareness and education “about the effects of nuclear weapon test explosions or any other nuclear explosions and the need for their cessation as one of the means of achieving the goal of a nuclear-weapon-free world”, and recognises that the resolution was initiated by Kazakhstan together with a large number of co-sponsors with a view to commemorating the closure of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test site on 29 August 1991.
