TRANSLATED BY: ANTHONY LIN 聯合國7號通過有史以來第一個，具有法律約束力的禁止核武條約，共122國投下贊成票。但目前九個擁有核武的國家，加上日本，都選擇缺席杯葛，甚至發表聲明強調，面對北韓的核武危機，這項條約根本脫離現實。 聯合國7號最終以122國贊成，新加坡缺席，荷蘭反對，通過了"禁止核子武器條約"，這也是聯合國首次通過，具有法律約束效力的禁止核武條約，聯合國祕書長古提瑞斯率先對結果表示肯定，今年初負責起草的會議主席，哥斯大黎加駐聯合國大使強調，這是20多年來，聯合國首次達成多邊禁止核子武器的條約，極具歷史意義。 ==哥斯大黎加駐聯合國大使 戈美茲== 這已經展現出這個會議的政治決心，集合了所有必要的條件，來消滅這些核子武器。 根據這項條約的內容，締約國不應發展、生產、製造或以其他方式獲得、擁有、儲存核子武器，也不應在其領土或管轄地，存放其他國家的核子武器。這次投下贊成票的，還包括長期被西方國家懷疑在發展核武的伊朗。 ==伊朗國際原能總署大使 納杰菲== 伊朗一直都是無核武世界，最主要的倡導者與最堅定的支持者。 當前全球擁有核武的九個國家，包括中美英法俄五個安理會常任理事國，以及印度，巴基斯坦，加上北韓，以色列都選擇缺席，甚至全球唯一遭受過原子彈攻擊的日本也抵制，甚至一開始就沒有參與協商，美英法三國更發表聯合聲明指出，這項條約對如何解決北韓核武威脅，完全沒有提出解決辦法，也脫離國際安全環境的現實。這項條約今年9月20號開放簽署，一旦超過50個國家批准，條約就自動生效。 記者 靳元慶 報導
