SUMMARY:United Nations 2016 Disarmament Poster Contest
DESCRIPTION:International Deadline: January 24, 2016 – In commemorat
 ion of the 70th anniversary of the first UN General Assembly resolutio
 n, which established the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons and all w
 eapons of mass destruction, the United Nations Office for Disarmament 
 Affairs is pleased to sponsor the UN Poster for Peace Contest.\nSince 
 its establishment, the United Nations has been seeking to eliminate al
 l weapons of mass destruction, especially the deadliest and most indis
 criminate – nuclear weapons. Nearly 70 years ago, the UN General Ass
 embly’s first resolution, adopted on 24 January 1946, established th
 e goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons and other weapons “adaptab
 le to mass destruction”.\nNuclear weapons remain an apocalyptic thre
 at. The Secretary-General of the United Nations continues to use every
  opportunity to raise global awareness as to the dangers and true cost
 s of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.\nMany beli
 eve that the humanitarian consequences from the use of nuclear weapons
  is reason enough to abolish them.\nIn recognition of the 70th anniver
 sary of the adoption of the first resolution of the UN General Assembl
 y, the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs has launched a UN
  Poster for Peace Contest. The contest aims to raise awareness on the 
 need for nuclear disarmament, to promote the work of the United Nation
 s and its disarmament efforts, and to inspire citizens across the glob
 e to add their voices, and use their artistic talents, in working for 
 a world free of nuclear weapons.  AWARDS There will be three winners:\
