Conference on Disarmament Opens 2013 Session
The Conference on Disarmament held the opening Plenary of its 2013 Session on January 22. “We begin the New Year with renewed commitment to the goal of a world without nuclear weapons – a goal which my President has made a hallmark of his international security agenda,” Ambassador Laura E. Kennedy, U.S. Permanent Representative to the CD told the body.
“Despite the challenges facing this body, the goals which this Conference was designed to tackle are worth fighting for,” she added, strongly reiterating U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon’s call for an end to the stalemate at the CD.
