The world is meeting in Mexico to discuss nuclear ban. India must support.
Next week, around 130 governments, UN agencies and civil society organisations are gathering in Nayarit where the Mexican government is hosting a conference on the Humanitarian Consequence of Nuclear Weapons. This is a follow up of the Oslo Conference last year in which attracted 120 governments. The fact that this initiative, facilitated by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons(ICAN) has received such wider support is a testimony to the fact that abolishing nuclear weapons remains a deeply popular aspiration. The initiative focuses on the problem of nuclear weapons, not in military and geopolitical terms, as has been done for decades, but through the lens of the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons.
