Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

South Korea warned Tuesday North Korea that using its nuclear weapons would put it on a "path of self-destruction," in unusually harsh language that came days after North Korea legislated a new law that would allow it to use its nuclear weapons preemptively.

"Nuclear devices of death guarantee no victory or safety. By design, their only result is destruction", Secretary-General of the UN, Antnio Guterres, stated.
"Our world has been held hostage by nuclear weapons long enough", he said.

"The disappearance of the agreement between Washington and Moscow on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 2026 with the subsequent increase in nuclear weapons will open a Pandora's Box - non-nuclear countries will want to acquire nuclear weapons," the chairman of the Conference for the Review of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Gustavo Zlauvinen, told

However, it is not just a nuclear war, as indicated in the final document, a source in the Russian delegation, attending the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, told reporters, as reported by "Sputnik".

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said nuclear power should either be free for all states or banned completely, and warned that the "inequality" between states who have nuclear power and who do not undermines global balances.

Works being carried out by state institutions and organizations should be concluded rapidly in order to ensure nuclear power plant projects are completed without delay and nuclear technology is used more effectively for peaceful purposes, a new presidential circular has said.

As of today, the United States' decision to withdraw from the nuclear weapons treaty concluded with Russia in the 1987, enters into force.

The nuclear deal deals with medium to low range missiles, and signing it was key to the end of the Cold War.

The United States is preparing for its use, said the Director of the Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian MFA, quoted by NOVA TV. 

Having a nuclear weapon in Europe, the United States is preparing to use it, RIA Novosti told the director of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vladimir Ermakov, of the Russian MFA's Directorate for Non-proliferation and Control.

Turkey's ultimate goal is to see a world free of nuclear weapons, the country's foreign minister said on Feb. 25.

US programs which train non-nuclear powers on how to use American tactical nuclear weapons violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
