Nobel Peace Prize laureates have worked to highlight the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and to strengthen international efforts to ban testing. Every nuclear test is a reminder of what is at stake: human lives, our environment, and the future of generations to come.

Today, 29 August, is International Day Against Nuclear Testing. This date was chosen by the UN to commemorate the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan in 1991.

For over four decades, this site witnessed hundreds of nuclear explosions, leaving lasting scars on the land. Its closure became a symbol of hope and a turning point in global efforts toward a world without nuclear weapons.

This day is a reminder of the progress made, and of the work that remains to ensure that nuclear tests become a relic of the past.
