The UAE has reaffirmed the right of states to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, provided they fully comply with the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), citing the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant as a tangible example of its commitment to the responsible use of nuclear technology.
Speaking during the general debate of the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab, the UAE’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stressed the importance of protecting nuclear facilities dedicated exclusively to peaceful activities from attacks or hostile actions.
He also reiterated that the complete elimination of nuclear weapons remains the only absolute guarantee against their use or the threat of their use.
