"A Global Assembly of Nobel Laureates called Thursday for rapid action to bring about the complete elimination of nuclear weapons." Read the IPPNW Press release from the Assembly: peaceandhealthblog.com/2026/07/17/g...

Former President of Colombia and Nobel Peace Laureate and Chair @theelders.bsky.social, Juan Manuel Santos, shared his message of urgency and hope in the face of the existential threat of nuclear war at the Global Nobel Assembly on AI and Nuclear Weapons.

What happens when artificial intelligence meets nuclear weapons? Instability and increased risk. Tristan Harris with @humanetech.bsky.social joined us at the Global Nobel Laureate Summit on AI and nuclear weapons to speak about the dangerous risk acceleration that AI brings to tech development.

81 years ago today, the first nuclear bomb was detonated at the Trinity Test Site. This was the first of over 2,000 nuclear weapons tests conducted by the nuclear armed states from 1945 to 2017, bringing intergenerational devastation to communities and the environment.

Nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to humanity. The integration of AI makes that risk even higher. @nuclearban.bsky.social joins us at the Nobel Laureate Assembly on AI and Nuclear War to call for an end to these weapons through the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

When young people learn about nuclear weapons, they know abolition is the only answer. Through the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, we have the tools to make the end of nuclear weapons a reality. Learn more: IPPNW.org

30 years ago today, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued one of the most significant legal findings in the nuclear age: that the threat or use of nuclear weapons is generally contrary to international law.

The integration of AI and automation into nuclear command and control would mark a new era of exponential risk to humankind. We stand starkly against the integration of artificial intelligence into nuclear decision making. Learn more: ippnw.org/ai

Today we mark 80 years since the United States of America detonated the first of 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands, leaving a devastating lasting impact on health and the environment.

Episode 1 of the new Back From The Brink Podcast is out today! Molly McGinty from @ippnw.bsky.social and Tina Cordova from the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium share their personal journeys to nuclear abolition. preventnuclearwar.org/podcast/ New episodes of limited series out every week.

The nuclear-armed states spent 119 billion dollars on nuclear weapons in 2025. This is a 19% increase from last year. This wasted money could be better spent to address any number of humanitarian or health challenges worldwide.

Hear from IPPNW board member Stella Ziegler about the 79th #WorldHealthAssembly last month. Our delegation led events and conversations to highlight the intersections of peace, health, and climate throughout the conference.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we raise caution for the humanitarian and environmental risks of nuclear energy, as well as nuclear weapons. We need a rapid transition to renewable, non-nuclear energy to help address the climate crisis and prevent disaster.

Happy World Bicycle Day 🚴🎉 We could not let this day go without shouting out and celebrating IPPNW Bike Tours and all our incredible partners who bike for the #nuclearban! #disarmament #bikefortheban #globalcampaign #activism

If you had 💸$3.6 trillion would you build a missile defense system that leaves over 75 million Americans at risk? Or would you rather those funds go to healthcare? Read the report on the false promise of the Golden Dome: www.ippnw.org/golden-dome-...

Last week, IPPNW participated in the 79th World Health Assembly ⚕️ Led by our Geneva Liaison Office, a delegation of health professionals and medical students brought the message of peace, disarmament, and sustainability to the world's leading health body. More ⤵️

The next session of our Global Classroom is around the corner! On Monday, we'll be joined by Dr. Åsa Lindström to answer the question: Is any medical community able to respond to a single nuclear detonation? www.ippnw.org/global-class...

The Golden Dome is a false promise which would leave tens of millions of Americans vulnerable to nuclear attack, stimulate a global arms race, and cost trillions of dollars. Our press conference in DC last week exposed the truth @psr.org @backfrombrink.bsky.social @upinarms-us.bsky.social @ucs.org

Later today, the month long Review Conference to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty will end. While we wait on an outcome from States, let’s look back on some of IPPNW's engagement to make sure humanitarian calls for disarmament are at the center of the conversation! 🧵

At the 1995 #NPT Review Conference, States committed to the establishment of a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East. IPPNW calls on states to adhere to this 30 year old commitment and implement a weapons of mass destruction free zone in the Middle East. #MENWFZ

Watch the launch of our new report, Golden Dome or Golden Scam?, live from D.C. www.youtube.com/live/U_r7oBu... @psr.org @backfrombrink.bsky.social @upinarms-us.bsky.social

New report live! Golden Dome or Golden Scam? Some key findings? 🏙️Even in a best-case scenario, 132 major US cities could still be successfully targeted 👥75 million Americans live in areas that would be totally destroyed 💰The system would still cost trillions of dollars Read the report: IPPNW.org

Ongoing wars in Ukraine and Iran have increased the risk of radiological release at safeguarded nuclear facilities. At the #NPT, IPPNW is calling on states to establish a binding instrument to stop attacks on #nuclear facilities to prevent humanitarian and environmental harm.

#GoldenDome or Golden Scam? A new report out tomorrow by @psr.org, @backfrombrink.bsky.social, and IPPNW explores the false promise of strategic missile defense. ➡️Join is for the launch in DC tomorrow morning with experts and representatives from Congress, organized with @upinarms-us.bsky.social

As the #NPT continues with heated debate around outcome language, IPPNW calls on states to assert that decisions taken remain binding through review cycles, until superseded or revoked. States cannot back down from previous commitments to progress the NPT and #disarmament.

In this time of increasingly destructive violence, you're invited to IPPNW's side event to the World Health Assembly, where we will explore the health sector's role in contributing to peace and security, including opportunities in health curricula. More: ippnw-glo.org/wha-side-eve...

Magritte Gordaneer from Physicians for Social Responsibility joins us at the #NPT to talk about why the P-5 must urgently take steps towards their #disarmament commitments, beginning with abiding by the expired #NewSTART Treaty limits. @psr.org

At the #NPT we are speaking with States at about the value of the Treaty on the Prohibition of #Nuclear Weapons which provides a legal pathway to achieve obligations of the NPT's article 6. We are encouraging all states to engage with the upcoming TPNW RevCon in November.

AI and nuclear weapons? No thanks!❌ This #NPT Review Conference, something we are watching carefully is conversations around #AI and #nuclear systems. Jienna Foster explains why integrating #AITechnology into nuclear decision making would create exponential risk for humankind.

IPPNW's work at the NPT continues! Both ➡️horizontal and ⬆️vertical proliferation increase the likelihood of nuclear war. All nuclear weapon states under the #NPT are modernizing, advancing, or increasing their #nuclear stockpiles. This jeopardizes the entire NPT regime.

Several IPPNW members and co-founders have signed onto a statement declaring President Trump too unstable to remain in office, citing nuclear weapons risks. Read the statement, which was read into the congressional record on April 30th: peaceandhealthblog.com/2026/05/05/m...

The last time the #NPT achieved a consensus outcome was 16 years ago when states agreed to express their deep concern at the continued humanitarian risk of nuclear weapons. @ippnwstudents.bsky.social member Sofia Vitale joins us in New York to re-center the humanitarian impacts.

Dr. Ira Helfand joins us at the #NPT meeting in New York to reminds us of the catastrophic humanitarian effects of nuclear weapons. Throughout the conference, IPPNW will work with states to understand these consequences and push for disarmament. #health #peace #un
