The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons remains strong despite the fact that the Russian Federation single-handedly decided to block consensus on the final document following the Tenth Review Conference. The US Department of State made this statement..
“The Russian Federation decided to block the consensus on the final document after the Tenth UN Review Conference to review the operation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Russia did this in order to block wording on a serious radiation hazard at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Ukraine,” the document says..
The statement notes that the remaining states participating in the UN conference, which lasted several weeks, supported the final document.
The US and other countries will continue to urge Russia to stop military activities near the nuclear power plant and return control over the plant to Ukraine.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also expressed his disappointment with the lack of consensus on the final document of the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons due to the position of Russia..
He believes that the tense international situation and the increased risk of the use of nuclear weapons by accident or miscalculation require urgent and decisive action..
Guterres also called on states to use every opportunity of dialogue, diplomacy and negotiations to ease tensions, reduce nuclear risks and eliminate the nuclear threat once and for all..
As reported, Russia blocked the approval of the final document of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which, in particular, criticized the seizure by Russian troops of Europe's largest nuclear power plant - the Ukrainian ZNPP.
