14. 2015 年 9 月，各国国家元首和政府首脑通过了《可持续发展议程》。这个议程是对人类的一个承诺。在《不扩散条约》本审议周期开始之际，我们必须铭记着核武器对这些全球共同目标和愿望构成的威胁。任何核武器爆炸，无论是意外的还是蓄意的，都将对发展、两性平等、健康、保护文化遗产和环境产生重大影响。更广大规模的事件，例如所谓的“有限度互相动用核武器”，将会造成危害多代人的破坏。在本工作文件中，爱尔兰试图提请注意核武器对不同性别的影响以及争取更多妇女参与核裁军谈判的必要性。但是，我们也认识到核武器可能给我们越来越脆弱的地球带来的更广泛的发展和环境问题。
14. In September 2015, Heads of State and Government adopted an agenda for sustainable development that was nothing less than a promise to humanity. As we begin this Non-Proliferation Treaty review cycle, we must keep in mind the threat posed by nuclear weapons to these global goals and aspirations, which we all share. Any nuclear weapons detonation, whether accidental or deliberate, would have a significant impact on development, gender equality, health, the protection of cultural heritage and the environment. A more wide-scale event, such as a so called “limited nuclear exchange”, would wreak devastation for generations. In this working paper, Ireland has sought to bring attention to the gendered impact of nuclear weapons and to the need to increase women’s participation in nuclear disarmament negotiations. But we are also cognizant of the wider developmental and environmental concerns that nuclear weapons pose for our ever more fragile planet.
