智利坚信，我们能够在一个无核武器世界中共存，而且，不诉诸核威慑来维护国际和平与安全，不仅是一项道义义务，而且也是一个可实现的目标，符合国际人权保护制度。在我们所处的这种国际环境中，这一点尤为紧迫，最近，这种环境因公然违反《联合国宪章》和国际法使用大规模毁灭性武器的威胁而受到冲击。
Chile believes firmly that our coexistence in a world without nuclear weapons is possible and that maintaining international peace and security without resorting to nuclear deterrence, in addition to being an ethical imperative, is an attainable goal in line with the international system for the protection of human rights. That is particularly urgent in an international environment such as the one that we are experiencing, which has recently been rocked by threats of the use of weapons of mass destruction, in flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
