International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons is celebrated every year on 26 September around the world.
International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons aims to provide an occasion for the world community to reaffirm its commitment to global nuclear disarmament as a high priority.
