The only obstacle we face in abolishing nuclear weapons is a lack of political will, which can – and must – be overcome. Two-thirds of UN member states have called for a nuclear-weapons convention similar to existing treaties banning other categories of particularly inhumane and indiscriminate weapons, from biological and chemical arms to anti-personnel land mines and cluster munitions.
消除核武器领域的唯一障碍是缺乏政治意愿，上述问题我们能够、而且应当克服。三分之二的联合国成员呼吁签订与现有条约相似的核武条约，特别取缔包括生物、化学、人员杀伤地雷和集束炸弹在内的其他类型的非人道和肆意杀伤性武器。这样的协定不仅可行，而且已经非常紧迫。
