Kenya through Ambassador Mike Kiboin urged the nine countries which possess nuclear weapons to embrace disarmament obligations. Currently, States with nuclear weapons include; the United States, Russia, France, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea. Kiboino made the call at the United Nations Disarmament Commission held in May 2024, where he underscored Kenya's commitment to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. Calling the United States, China and other nuclear weapons to fulfil their disarmament, he also indicated how other nations could benefit from nuclear power. Kenya’s call for nuclear disarmament is based on the rationale that nuclear weapons are a threat to global peace and security.
