Current Nuclear Testing Context The UN General Assembly recently approved a study on the global effects of nuclear war, but major nuclear powers like Russia, France, and the UK opposed it, while the US, Israel, Iran and North Korea abstained.
Nuclear-armed nations resist such studies, fearing they could erode public support for nuclear deterrence and reveal devastating impacts of nuclear weapons.
