The Community of Latin America and Caribbean States (Celac) reiterated before United Nations its support to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation in all aspects and claimed for a world free of those armaments.
Celac also warned about the threat that those weapons and its potential use represent and highlighted that the only guarantee against that hazard is their total elimination.
The stance of Celac was expressed by the Cuban alternate permanent representative at UN, Oscar Leon, at the beginning of the UN Disarmament Comission debates.
Leon stated the support of the regional organization to the "total, transparent, verifiable and irreversible nuclear disarmament," and no nuclear proliferation in all aspects".
He also called UN member states to show the necessary political flexibility and will to progress in the exhortations for a new cycle of discussions.
Latin America and the Caribbean was the first area densely populated in the world that declared itself Free Zone of Nuclear Weapons on the Tlatelolco Treaty, said the Cuban diplomat.
He also rejected the improving and development of new types of those armaments and claimed the elimination of its role in the strategical doctrines and safety policies.
Leon ratified the commitment of that regional organization with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the application of its main three pillars: nuclear disarmament, non proliferation and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
