People's destinies are at stake from nuclear threats, President Sergio Mattarella told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. "The two conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza have also revived sinister threats to use nuclear weapons, as if the history of the 20th century had not made their tragic consequences clear," he said. "The treaty framework for the control of nuclear arsenals, articulated with so much pains over the past decades, is a common heritage of all states. To violate it, even by mere threats, is to endanger the destinies of peoples, of all, even of those whose governments threaten the use of nuclear weapons. A responsibility that the international community cannot leave without consequences," he added. /ansa/
