UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on world leaders, today, Friday, to eliminate all nuclear weapons, which he described as "death devices", after an organization opposed to these weapons was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Guterres said in a statement: "The survivors of the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are witnesses to the horrific human cost of nuclear weapons."
He added: "It is time for world leaders to see nuclear weapons for what they are: death devices that provide no safety, protection or security, and the only way to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons is to eliminate them completely.
