UNITED NATIONS, July 19 (Xinhua) — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has appointed an independent scientific panel of experts to study the physical impact and social consequences of a nuclear war, a spokesman for the world body said on Friday.
“The creation of this group of 21 experts is a response to a global situation in which the risk of nuclear war has reached its highest level since the Cold War,” UN Secretary-General’s deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said at a daily briefing.
Experts will need to study the consequences at the local, regional and planetary levels, both in the first days and weeks and for decades after a nuclear war, he said.
F. Hack noted that the group members are leading experts in their scientific fields and represent all regions of the world.
The group's first meeting will take place in September this year, and its final report will be presented to the UN General Assembly in 2027, he added. –0–
