#WATCH | Jonathan Granoff, President, Global Security Institute says, " I don't think we can have peace in the world unless we have peace amongst and within the world's religions...a country such as India...which has over its Parliament the model 'world is one family'. We just saw in Times Square, a statement by PM of India, 'to be inclusive, to honour the sacredness of the natural world that shared environment'. If India goes on the path of being an example of unity and multiplicity, an example of respecting the human rights and dignity of all religions and all people, it will be the most powerful statement to the world of becoming the world we have to live in..."

Full implementation of NPT Art. VI, 2nd part, is The primus of concerns/objectives to obviate nuclear total annihilation. A bridge between NPT and TPNW should be sought, else, singly, nuclear-zero unreacheable. There must be a way for humanity's survival.

A bold idea: NATO offers to withdraw nukes from Europe (militarily useless, ineffective deterrents as we’ve just seen, & recklessly dangerous) in return for ending the invasion. Putin gets a “win” which costs us nothing worth having. thehill.com/opinion/internat…

At #FirstCommittee, @MexOnu abstained on L.55. Takes note of interesting initiative designed to promote peaceful purposes of tech. Defends right of all countries to benefit from tech progress & will make contributions to reflection exercise, hope it takes up all points of view
Global Security Institute retweeted
At #FirstCommittee, Viet Nam voted in favour of L.55 as it contains important principles such as reaffirming need for all states to fulfill obligations on disarmament & non-proliferation, and right of tech transfer for peaceful purposes. All states must have a voice on this.

At #FirstCommittee, France & UK joined consensus on L.24 on disarmament and development but notion of symbiotic relationship between these concepts is questionable. Is a complex relationship, not automatic relationship.

At #FirstCommittee, India welcomes consensus adoption of L.13, which creates a constructive atmosphere for dialogue on cyber issues and ensures outcomes of GGE & OEWG provide basis for future work. #CyberPeace
Global Security Institute retweeted
At #FirstCommittee, @swiss_un voted no on L.55. It's committed to strengthening global non-proliferation regime & export controls. States parties to relevant treaties have obligations and commit to facilitating intl cooperation & trade. Exports controls are key to both objectives

L.6, "Role of science and technology in the context of international security and disarmament," is adopted without a vote. #FirstCommittee
Global Security Institute retweeted
#FirstCommittee resumes its work on cluster 5 resolutions. China delivers an explanation on L.16, arguing the main co-sponsor (the US) has a terrible track record on compliance with disarmament & arms control treaties & has largest arsenals. China will vote against this reso.
