In commemoration of the 70th
anniversary of the first UN General Assembly resolution, which established the
goal of eliminating nuclear weapons and all weapons of mass destruction, the
United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs is pleased to sponsor the UN
Poster for Peace Contest.
The contest aims to raise awareness of the need for nuclear
disarmament and to inspire citizens across the globe to add their voices, and
use their artistic talents, to promote a world free of nuclear weapons.
About
Since its establishment, the United Nations has been seeking to
eliminate all weapons of mass destruction, especially the deadliest and most
indiscriminate – nuclear weapons. Nearly 70 years ago, the UN General
Assembly’s first resolution, adopted on 24 January 1946, established the goal
of eliminating all nuclear weapons and other weapons “adaptable to mass destruction”.
Nuclear weapons remain an apocalyptic threat. The
Secretary-General of the United Nations continues to use every opportunity to
raise global awareness as to the dangers and true costs of nuclear weapons and
other weapons of mass destruction.
Many believe that the humanitarian consequences from the use of
nuclear weapons is reason enough to abolish them.
In recognition of the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the
first resolution of the UN General Assembly, the United Nations Office for
Disarmament Affairs has launched a UN Poster for Peace Contest. The contest
aims to raise awareness on the need for nuclear disarmament, to promote the
work of the United Nations and its disarmament efforts, and to inspire citizens
across the globe to add their voices, and use their artistic talents, in
working for a world free of nuclear weapons.
