核武器的持续存在、拥有核武器以及近在眼前的以核武库升级和现代化为特征的核军备竞赛并不能保证安全。它们对人类的生存构成威胁。只有彻底和不可逆转地消除核武器，才能保证不使用核武器。全面执行《不扩散核武器条约》，包括第六条，以及批准具有里程碑意义的《禁止核武器条约》，是实现无核武器世界的关键。此外，厄立特里亚认为，具有法律约束力的消极保证和建立无核武器区，以及《全面禁止核试验条约》的普遍化和早日生效，是实现全面彻底核裁军的关键步骤。
The continued existence and possession of nuclear weapons and the impending nuclear arms race characterized by the upgrading and modernizing of nuclear arsenals do not guarantee security. They pose an existential threat to humankind. The non-use of nuclear arms can be guaranteed only by the total and irreversible elimination of nuclear weapons. The full implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, including article VI, and the ratification of the landmark Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons constitute the key to a world free of nuclear arms. Moreover, Eritrea believes that the legally binding negative assurances and the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones, as well as the universalization and early entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty, are critical steps towards general and complete nuclear disarmament.
