The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) expressed grave concern over the threat posed to humankind by the existing weapons of mass destruction, calling on the international community to push for the total elimination of WMDs, particularly the nuclear weapons.

NAM calls upon all countries to support international efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction, Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gholam Ali Khoshroo said on Tuesday.

Speaking on behalf of the NAM, whose rotating presidency is assumed by Iran, Khoshroo addressed a Security Council open debate on non-proliferation of WMDs, held in the UN Headquarters in New York.
