🧵1/ Nuclear armed states, and those who support the use of nuclear weapons in their security strategies, once again resist efforts to advance nuclear disarmament at the #NPTRevCon. The meeting ends with no real plan. Read ICAN's team analysis here: icanw.org/npt_review_con…

2/ Over the week, our partners have held meetings with parliamenterians and rallys in the city to voice their opposition. The vast majority of the Finnish says no nuclear weapons and their voices must be heard. Learn more about their work here: icanfinland.fi #NuclearBan

🧵1/ In a week marked by nuclear missile tests aimed at sending messages, the US has launched a Minuteman ICBM claiming it was not linked to world events. It's been done while US diplomats are at the UN NPT review conference in New York: united24media.com/war-in-ukraine…

‼️Coming back from China, Donald Trump declared that he and Xi Jinping, also discussed a world free of nuclear weapons. “We brought it up, the denuclearization. The concept of that is something that would be very good.” Time to turn that thought into action‼️#NuclearBan 😅

🧵1/ At the #NPTRevCon, South Africa took the floor, in its capacity as the President of the 1st Review of the #TPNW, to argue that any outcome document must reflect the view of TPNW states parties, which group represents a majority of NPT member states: youtu.be/XMQaMqEg-fg

2/ Also doing this while countries are meeting at the UN to try to strengthen non-proliferation and disarmament under the #NPT suggests cynicism about the treaty’s objectives. #NPTRevCon

1/ Russia has begun 3 days of major nuclear warfare exercises. Practicing how to inflict mass casualties on civilians is an appalling act that ICAN condemns. #NuclearBan reuters.com/business/aeros…

ICAN condemns the latest Belarus-Russia military exercise announced on May 18th, involving the training and deployment readiness of nuclear weapons. At the very moment of the NPT Review Conference, Russia and Belarus are choosing nuclear intimidation over nuclear restraint.

Did you know France carried our nuclear tests in Algeria? Yes, and decades later, radioactive waste still threatens communities and the enviroment because as a matter of fact France has had a policy of burying all waste in the sands or disposing of it in the ocean. #NuclearBan

India, along with the other nuclear-armed states, this week is testing another missile, capable of holding multiple warheads. A destabilsing act, when less than a year has passed since their hot conflict with nuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan. #NuclearBan timesofindia.indiatimes.com/defence/news/i…

As Russian diplomats sit in NY negotiations about the future of nuclear weapons, colleagues at capital watch the test results of this Sarmat missile’s new capabilities. Escalating their role in the new nuclear arms race. #NuclearBan x.com/russianforces/…
