NEW YORK, 25 October 2020, (TON): The United Nations announced Saturday on the occasion of ratification from Honduras that 50 countries have ratified a UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons triggering its entry into force in 90 days. The 50th ratification came on the 75th anniversary of the ratification of the UN Charter which officially established the United Nations and is celebrated as UN Day.

The United Nations efforts abolition of nuclear weapons could not bear fruit as the five original Nuclear Powers; Russia, China, Britain and France and the US are in strong opposition to the signing of treaty. Rather, these countries persuaded other countries including NATO members not to sign or ratify the treaty.

Analysts are of the view that the countries which is in possession of Nuclear arsenal are not ready to ratify the treaty and hope to bring peace in this world.
