The General Assembly of the United Nations (U.N.) approved the new Mexico-developed resolutions which promoted nuclear disarmament in coordination with Austria, Ireland and South Africa, and with the support of over two-thirds of the U.N. Members.

In a statement, the Foreign Relations Secretariat (SRE) said that Mexico is recognized as a leader in the field of nuclear disarmament due to its historical activism in promoting initiatives to prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons.

The statement said, “The approval of these resolutions by the General Assembly is a recognition by the international community of the initiatives made by Mexico and the countries that agree with its policies against such inhumane weapons.”

The initiatives are: Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons, Ethical Dimension to Reach a Nuclear-Weapon-Free World and Advances in Multilateral Negotiations on Nuclear Disarmament.

These resolutions are based on the results of the international conferences on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons, particularly those conferences held in Nayarit, Mexico and Vienna in 2014.
