The Secretary General of OPANAL, Ambassador Flávio Roberto Bonzanini, participated in the discussion panel “The Treaty of Tlatelolco in the current context of international security”, organized by the Tlatelolco University Cultural Center (CCUT) within the framework of the exhibition “Current memories. Sixty years after the project of urban modernity in Tlatelolco, 1964-2024”.
The panel also included the participation of Dr. María Cristina Rosas, professor and researcher at UNAM, Counselor María Antonieta Jáquez, from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, and Juliany Alcocer, founder of the youth NGO World Without Weapons, with the moderation of the Research and Education Officer of OPANAL, Natalia Zhruina. During the dialogue, current challenges of international security and the relevance of the Treaty of Tlatelolco as a reference for nuclear disarmament at a global level were addressed. In his speech, the Secretary General of OPANAL highlighted the leadership of Latin America and the Caribbean in the consolidation of a world free of nuclear weapons and the key role of OPANAL in the promotion of disarmament and non-proliferation in the region.
Prior to the panel discussion, attendees toured the exhibition “Current Memories. Sixty years after the project of urban modernity in Tlatelolco, 1964-2024,” which opened last year. Later, the inauguration of “Tlatelolco: epicenter of nuclear disarmament and feminisms” took place, an appendix to the main exhibition, to which OPANAL contributed by providing historical and documentary materials.
Both exhibitions will be open to the public until June 28, 2025 at the Tlatelolco University Cultural Center. A visit is recommended to those interested in the history of nuclear disarmament and the region's role in promoting international peace and security, as an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the Treaty of Tlatelolco in the current context.
