Happy Entry Into Force Day, world! It's been 3⃣ years since the #TPNW's #EIF, we've seen 2⃣ meetings of states parties, and here's 1⃣ take on the #nuclearban treaty's accomplishments in its journey so far.

🧵African states have been leading global efforts to rid the world of the existential threat nuclear weapons pose, first with the Treaty of Pelindaba establishing a nuclear free zone in the continent, and today with the #NuclearBan Treaty. Read more: icanw.org/west_and_centr…

Trump is misinformed and out of touch. The U.S. has no technical, military, or political reason to resume nuclear explosive testing for the first time since 1992. It would take least 36 months to resume contained nuclear tests underground at the former test site in Nevada. 1/

3/ ICAN’s @SethShelden gave a presentation about the growing membership of the treaty, including that the treaty has just reached a “global majority” of states as parties or signatories; a clear sign of momentum and an invitation for all States to step up and join the #NuclearBan

Yesterday, Ghana boldly demonstrated to the world that we shall be a Nuclear-Weapon-Free State by depositing our instrument of ratification on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) at the UN. I commend the Ghanaian Cabinet and Parliament for the unanimous ratification. As I indicated in my UN address, Ghana has been consistent across all political parties in advocating for total disarmament and creating a new world without nuclear weapons. Ghana’s Founder, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah who convened the 1962 World Without the Bomb conference in Accra would be absolutely proud of this moment. It was an honour to meet with the inspiring Melissa Parke and Seth Shelden of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). ICAN won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for their groundbreaking work to attain a world without nuclear weapons. We shall triumph, and end global impunity. For God, Country and the World. 🇬🇭 🇺🇳 🙏🏾

Rep. Ilhan Omar@Ilhan·
There are only two ways the era of nuclear weapons will end - either we abolish our nuclear weapons, or our weapons will abolish humanity. The United States must join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and join over half of the countries around the world in mutual disarmament.

Advancing #nuclearban progress, despite increasing global risks and challenges, but also, of course, because of increasing global risks and challenges:
ICAN@nuclearban

1/ Although we were disappointed by the proceedings of last week’s #NPTPrepCom, and its non-outcome, we managed to hold a number of promising meetings on the sidelines, including relating to the Treaty on the Prohibiton of Nuclear Weapons. More #NuclearBan moments in the thread🧵

Moments ago, the third #NPTPrepCom failed to adopt any outcome, reflecting a horrifying lack of urgency in response to current risks. Yet we've been encouraged by constructive leadership from #TPNW states, and their efforts to reinforce non-proliferation and disarmament norms.

1/ ICAN is gravely concerned by escalating hostilities between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, including last night’s missile strikes and nuclear threats. A nuclear exchange would be catastrophic for the world. Read our full statement here: icanw.org/ican_response_… #NuclearBan

Kyrgyzstan (which has previously abstained on resolutions relating to the TPNW) has today announced they will join the treaty. 👏🏼🇰🇬#nuclearban
ICAN@nuclearban

In today's general debate at the #NPTPrepCom, Kyrgyzstan announced that “has made the political decision to join to the TPNW” because they are “committed to ensuring that future generations live without the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction.” 👏🇰🇬
