The Permanent Representative of Libya to the Security Council, Ambassador Taher Al-Sunni, in his capacity as President of the fourth session of the Conference, chaired the second meeting of the Working Committee on the Establishment of a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in the Middle East.
Over the course of three days of intense discussions, the “peaceful uses of nuclear energy” were highlighted.
The meetings witnessed the presentation of several research papers presented by experts from specialized international organizations, and the Committee addressed the current global frameworks for these uses, and reviewed best practices and experiences learned from other regions globally.
The meeting discussed the priorities of the Middle East countries in the field of peaceful use of nuclear energy, the standards of security and safety, in addition to the proposed institutional framework for the application of these uses in the near future of the region.
The first conference on the establishment of a zone free of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East was held in November 2019, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, and the first session was chaired by the then Jordanian Ambassador Sima Bahous.
