UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon pledged Friday to do everything in his power to build on the historic U.N. summit chaired by President Barack Obama and advance the goal of a nuclear weapon-free world. Ban said he will be pressing for progress on disarmament and nuclear nonproliferation at a number of major events this year. In early February, Ban will attend the Global Zero [2] Summit in Paris, which is expected to bring hundreds of international leaders to the French capital to discuss a step-by-step plan for the phased, verified elimination of nuclear weapons. Global Zero is a Ploughshares-funded initiative. He will then attend the 46th Munich Security Conference which will address the major security challenges including nuclear proliferation.
