Original: CTBTO chief lauds drop in nuke tests in 30 yrs since U.N. adoption
The head of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization praised the sharp decline in nuclear test explosions in the three decades since the United Nations adopted the treaty in 1996. He noted that nuclear testing has become rare, with North Korea's 2017 test the only confirmed one in the 21st century, marking a major shift toward a global norm against nuclear testing.
Why now: The 30th anniversary of the UN's adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty is prompting officials to reflect on progress toward ending nuclear testing.
