  1. We believe that it is necessary to work on that perception in order to halt proliferation and promote disarmament by investing in international cooperation and development. Technology must serve to promote peace and progress, not dehumanization and destruction.

  2. We believe that the continued validity of the nuclear non-proliferation regime should also be observed through the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear programme, endorsed by the Council in resolution 2231 (2015). Furthermore, we must deplore and condemn the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict, as well as in the British city of Salisbury. In conclusion, given the complex context, we wish to stress the importance of diplomacy, multilateralism, international law, confidence-building measures and universality in strengthening non-proliferation and disarmament regimes. We note that, in many cases, it is the perception of insecurity that leads to weapons build-up, and even to the development of new means of warfare.

  3. As members of this principal organ, we strongly encourage that they be strictly observed. We believe that ensuring international peace and security means eliminating the risk posed by weapons of mass destruction. There is no better way to do that than to make sure that they do not exist. In that regard, we stress that non-proliferation must go hand in hand with disarmament and strict conventional arms control. It is our view that that implies, first ofall, addressing the challenge posed by the nuclear and ballistic programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. In that regard, we again commend the high- level diplomacy that you personally, Mr. President, and your Administration have demonstrated in an effort to achieve the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

  4. The work of the Council is based on the gradual development of international instruments, which, in turn, are based on a series of binding instruments adopted by the Organization and its Member States. The most recent of those instruments is the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, adopted in 2017, which we hope all countries, in particular those with nuclear arsenals, will one day be able to join. Indeed, this is not a utopia. Thanks to the Treaty of Tlatelolco, Latin America and the Caribbean is a nuclear- weapon-free region, which has enabled it to make progress in consolidating a region of peace. As a country committed to non-proliferation regimes, Peru fully complies with the obligations established by the respective instruments, as well as with the provisions of the Council, as stipulated in relevant resolutions.

  5. I would like to greet Mr. Donald Trump, as well as all other dignitaries and senior officials present. Peru welcomes today's high-level meeting to draw the attention of the world and the Security Council to the need to halt the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, as we mark the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. Throughout its history, the Council has remained united in the fight against the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as well as their means of delivery, in keeping with its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, as entrusted to it under the Charter of the United Nations.
