Abstract:

Role of Civil Society Organizations for education and public awareness in NIGER. The role of the CTBTO is to detect an atomic explosion on the planet to take steps to prevent the current nuclear-armed countries from continuing their tests, and the States that do not have nuclear weapons not to acquire them. In addition to this mission, the CTBTO, through IMS data and IDC products, can make available to scientists data for civilian applications, such as nuclear and radiological applications and emergency preparedness. The CTBTO also ensures that countries and institutions have a science-policy interface for wide dissemination of scientific knowledge to both decision-makers and the general public in general. In the face of the emerging arms race and the heightened risks of a terrorist nuclear attack, the insecurity of nuclear weapons systems in the face of cyber risks, as well as the use of emerging technologies, poses risks to systems that are associated with them. It is imperative that we civil society organization, mobilize ourselves to influence the authorities for the introduction of the knowledge of the missions of the CTBTO into our education system from primary to university for a general culture of peace and a life without arms and nuclear tests.
