The International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have issued a joint statement marking the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. The statement calls for the abolition of nuclear arms, renewing the humanitarian movement's long-standing warning about the catastrophic consequences of any nuclear detonation and urging states to pursue disarmament.

The document sets out the ICRC's positions for the committee's deliberations, reflecting its humanitarian concerns around weapons and armed conflict.
