Deeply saddened by the passing of Ambassador Sérgio Duarte, distinguished Brazilian diplomat and former High Representative for Disarmament Affairs. His unwavering commitment to global peace, disarmament and the pursuit of a world free of nuclear weapons leaves a lasting legacy.

Today at the Peace Memorial of Hiroshima, I join the world in remembering the lives lost in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.   We must remember the lessons of 6 August 1945. We must vow that the horrors of that day are never repeated.   We need disarmament now.

At Hiroshima Peace Memorial this morning, I again renew my determination to continue to work towards a world without nuclear weapons. For the security of all peoples. Japanese paper cranes symbolize hope for a peaceful future. #CranesForFuture Cranesforfuture.org

Nearly eighty years have passed since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.   We still mourn the victims of these terrible weapons.   At the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony today, I delivered António Guterres' message to remind the🌍: we must never allow such devastation again.

It had a very special meaning for me to be in Kazakhstan on International Day against Nuclear Tests this year. I had the privilege of meeting some survivors of nuclear tests here. They inspired me to continue to work to ensure the end of all testing - forever.
