The event will include a preview of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Handbook on Parliamentary Measures to Support Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament which will be released in October and sent to every parliament.
At a time when the international community is facing unprecedented global challenges, parliamentarians can take on leading roles in ensuring sustainable global security, while reducing the diversion of precious resources from human needs... I salute Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament for its related efforts and for its work towards building support for a nuclear weapon convention.
