‘Every step towards disarmament matters,’ nuclear testing survivors warn
UN News uses the International Day against Nuclear Tests to highlight the enduring human cost of nuclear weapons testing. It profiles a man born without arms in Kazakhstan whose condition is linked to four decades of Soviet testing at Semipalatinsk. The report connects that personal history to the wider disarmament agenda and underlines that the global nuclear-test ban still lacks full legal force.
