Paragraph 2
Guterres painted a
of a world close to war. He said the danger
is at its highest since the Cold War. He warned that: "Humanity is just one
, one miscalculation away from nuclear
." Guterres was speaking at a
for countries signed up to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This started in 1968. He said the conference was "a
to strengthen" the Treaty and "make it fit for the worrying
around us". He added: "Eliminating nuclear weapons is the only
that they will never be used." He said: "Almost 13,000 nuclear
are now being held in arsenals around the world...at a time when the
of proliferation are growing."
