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
