Changing the game on #nuclear #disarmament. Pushing for a treaty banning nuclear weapons, and not being nice about it.

Congrats, @heatherwilly for engaging with the TPNW. We welcome this debate. You argue the #TPNW has failed and we should go back to the "step-by-step" approach of engaging patiently with the P5 under the NPT. Lets consider your arguments 🧵
Heather Williams@heatherwilly

Yes, I published a paper about nuclear disarmament in 2026. I know. Hear me out—understanding why disarmament is failing right now matters more than ever. New paper: "On Theories of Change: Rethinking the Ban Treaty and Disarmament Strategies" 🧵PDF: cgsr.llnl.gov/sites/cgsr/fil…

We’re launching a small grants scheme for short projects that address the security concerns raised by nuclear deterrence policies. Grants are between 10-35k CHF and we aim to support writings, meetings, content creation, etc. No long applications or complicated reporting!!
Lex International@LexIntl_org

Call for proposals: Non-governmental organisations, think tanks, university-based centres, and other legal non-profit entities are welcome to apply for grants for projects that aim to address the security concerns raised by nuclear deterrence policies. lexinternational.org/call-for-propo…

Creative legal move from Ukraine: it will "suspend" the operation of the Anti-personnel Mine Ban Convention. Maybe non-nuclear-weapon states should try "suspending" the operation of the #NPT. Would make for a more interesting #NPTRevCon.

Really? Including the #NATO allies that are considering acquiring their own nuclear weapons? (It would be good to hear NATO categorically rule out this possibility, in line with its “commitment” to the #NPT.)
Boris Ruge@RugeBoris

Good exchange with #UN Under-Secretary-General Nakamitsu on priorities in arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation ahead of the Non-Proliferation Treaty PrepCom. #NATO Allies remain committed to the implementation of the #NPT along its three pillars.

Welcome Indonesia, it is good to have you on board. The #TPNW needs your energy and leadership. #3MSP
Indonesian Mission to the UN@indonesiaunny

”The TPNW is a call to reform a system that has, for too long, normalized the existence of weapons capable of ending civilization” The delegation of Indonesia 🇮🇩 participates at the 3rd Meeting of States Parties to the #TPNW (4/3) for the first time as a full member, since ratifying the TPNW in 2024.

@BrunoTertrais Et tu Bruno? This post is kind of emblematic of the way European security analysts have lost their collective minds. Did Germany and Japan "deserve" security guarantees after WW2? Who do you think those security guarantees were for? As Clint famously said...

Yes, we should have, say, a NATO-Russia Founding Act. And unilateral assurances given by NATO. More seriously, a country which has violated most if not all European security rules does not deserve any kind of « security guarantee ».
Pavel Podvig@russianforces

As someone correctly noted, for any deal to work, it must provide security guarantees for Russia too. I know this may sound preposterous, but there is no way around it. This can be done - CFE 2.0, INF 2.0, that kind of thing

After 28 straight years of paralysis and zero output, maybe “continuity” is not really what the Conference on Disarmament should be aiming for in 2025.

A question for the arms control Twitter. Was there a technology recognized as militarily useful but limited by mutual agreement before it was introduced?

Many Western politicians are trying desperately to brush off their anti-Trump statements. Hopeless efforts. The Internet forgets nothing.
