Ban Ki-moon Utopian Quotations

Do not hide behind utopian logic which says that until we have the perfect security environment, nuclear disarmament cannot proceed. This is old-think. This is the mentality of the Cold War era. We must face the realities of the 21st century. The Conference on Disarmament can be a driving force for building a safer world and a better future.

Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are not utopian ideals. They are critical to global peace and security.
