@DrRobFloyd
Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization @CTBTO. Advocate for non-proliferation, disarmament and a better world
80 years after the Trinity test, its legacy reminds us why ending nuclear tests matters. #CTBT provides the legal framework, verification system and commitment we need. I encourage all States to show leadership & take concrete steps to strengthen non-prol. & disarmament efforts.
Grateful to witness Dr. Robert Floyd’s powerful message on the CTBT as a model of multilateral success at NIIA. From detecting explosions to empowering disaster response, the treaty isn’t just about prevention, it’s about possibility. #CTBT @DrRobFloyd @CTBTO
Young people are the leaders of tomorrow. Through initiatives like @Youth4CTBT, we empower them to be part of our mission for a more peaceful & secure world. At CTBTO, we’re not just imagining a future without nuclear tests; we’re building it with the energy and vision of youth.
Through the Treaty of #Pelindaba, Africa has sent a powerful message: no nuclear testing on its soil. This commitment strengthens the norm that keeps our world safer, and it’s right at the heart of #CTBTO’s mission. Let’s keep moving forward and bring our Treaty into force.
As always, Africa’s strong support for and commitment to the #CTBT were echoed not just in words, but in purpose and presence. It was a pleasure engaging with such a thoughtful & passionate audience. Sincere thanks to @official_niia’s Director General, Eghosa Osaghae, and his…
