Latest developments
At the 2020 UN General Assembly, Peru's President, Martín Vizcarra Cornejo, said: 'Equally firm is our commitment to the general and complete disarmament of weapons of mass destruction. We are part of the Chemical Weapons Convention and a member of the main international regimes on conventional arms control and nuclear non-proliferation. We are in the process of ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and we are convinced that the prohibition of nuclear weapons and tests remains a moral imperative for the planet and humankind.'
