She said the assembly "suddenly" wants to have a hearing to ban nuclear weapons and while "as a mother and daughter" she wants a world with no nuclear weapons, one also has to be "realistic". "Is there anyone who believes that North Korea would agree to a ban on nuclear weapons? "One day we will hope we no longer need nuclear weapons. "Supporters of a legally-binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons consider that it would be an interim or partial step towards nuclear disarmament because it would not include measures for elimination ? Rather, it would be aimed at contributing to the progressive stigmatisation of nuclear weapons," the UN statement said.
