1/ Excellent to see over 30 states attending Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic and ICAN's side event on synergy between the #NuclearBan & the Central Asian Nuclear Weapon Free Zone at @ungeneva.bsky.social. Panelists highlighted the complementarity between the 2 & their contribution to peace and security.

😲Did you know the global majority rejects nuclear weapons? What that means is: 1⃣Most of the world’s countries are now part of the #NuclearBan Treaty🎉 2⃣They’ve chosen real security rooted in cooperation, not fear. Learn more here: www.icanw.org/global_major...

Recent weeks have seen a rise in dangerous nuclear signalling, missile tests and nuclear exercises. These weapons are not safe in anyone’s hands. From irrational leaders to accidents, the only solution is to eliminate nuclear weapons. #nuclearban www.icanw.org/what_you_nee...

#Adhésion-au-TIAN Beim 60. Einsatz* sammelte ich 60 Unterschriften. Damit bin ich auf 2'225. Tun wir alles, um auf die 130'000 zu kommen! @atomwaffenverbot.bsky.social @nuclearban.bsky.social @gssa.ch @gsoa.ch @woz.ch @lalibertefribourg.bsky.social *Mein viertes Mal in FR, wo es sehr gut läuft.

Huge congratulationns to our partners at ICAN France for making it happen!!🥳👏 To celebrate, here are throwback pictures from the ICAN Paris Forum! #NuclearBan

🥳Big news: 100 French🇫🇷 cities and regions, from Paris & Marseille to small towns are calling on France to eliminate nuclear weapons! Read more here: www.icanw.org/100_french_c... #NuclearBan

1/ The US’s latest ICBM test, carried out amid recent nuclear threats and rising tensions is not reassurance, it’s escalation. It reminds us nuclear-armed states rehearse launches and keep arsenals ready to use at any time. #NuclearBan www.newsweek.com/photo-shows-...

1/ @nuclearban.bsky.social was pleased to participate in the 151st Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly in Geneva to speak on the crucial role parliamentarians play in advancing the #NuclearBan Treaty. More here ➡️🔗https://www.ipu.org/event/151st-ipu-assembly-and-related-meetings

Am Samstag mache ich meinen 60. Sammel-Einsatz für @atomwaffenverbot.bsky.social - in Fribourg. Bis Ende Monat ist mein Ziel: 2'500, das Gesamtziel: 130'000! Macht mit beim Schlussspurt! @nuclearban.bsky.social @gssa.ch @chmutter.bsky.social @psmarlych.bsky.social @politforumbern.bsky.social

Excellent piece on Trump's call to resume nuclear testing in The Independent (and not just because is cites me & my @ucs.org colleague @dkspaulding.bsky.social). BLUF for Trump, as duly noted by our @nuclearban.bsky.social colleague: Melissa Park: "This is no way to win the Nobel Peace Prize."

Resuming U.S. nuclear testing would escalate an already unstable global security landscape. But we have some good news: half the world’s nations have joined the #NuclearBan Treaty, a historic step toward banning these weapons forever. Read more below⬇️ theconversation.com/if-the-us-re...

Trump has threatened to restart #nucleartests “on an equal basis” with China & Russia. While the intent is unclear this an unnecessary & reckless nuclear escalation, increasing nuclear dangers & disregarding the decades of harm already caused in 80 years of nuclear age. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/30/t...

Nouvelle étape pour #ICANFrance Saint-Martin-de-Valgalgues signe l'Appel des Villes pour soutenir le #TIAN Désormais 100 villes/collectivités🇫🇷soutiennent ce traité, une première dans un État doté d’armes #nucléaires @infoccitanie.bsky.social @nuclearban.bsky.social icanfrance.org/communique-1...

Missile defence is back in the headlines from President Trump’s renewed push to the film #HouseofDynamite, where defence fails dramatically. Can missile defence really protect us? We've got answers ➡️🔗https://www.icanw.org/can_missile_defence_against_nuclear_attack_work

🎉Happy United Nations Day! The best way to honor and celebrate it? Join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and make our world safer! #UnitedNationsDay #NuclearBan

#Russia is running its annual “strategic deterrence” Grom exercise. Test-firing ICBMs and SLBMs at this time of heightened nuclear tensions is particularly irresponsible but any rehearsal to use weapons of mass destruction at any time is unacceptable. www.thebarentsobserver.com/security/rus...

🧵1/ What a powerful few days in Rome! Together with Masashi Ieshima, Hiroshima survivor and member of the 2024 Nobel Peace laureate Nihon Hidankyo, ICAN's Florian Eblenkamp and our partners Senza Atomica & Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo, we urged Italy to join the #NuclearBan Treaty.

1/ At the UN General Assembly, we co-hosted a side event on the universalization of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons with the Permanent Missions of New Zealand, Austria, and Uruguay, in their capacity as Co-Chairs of the Informal Working Group on Universalisation of the #TPNW.

🧵1/ You can’t prepare to “responsibly” use a weapon that would make humanitarian response impossible. The ICRC and UN say no one can handle the consequences of a nuclear war, yet NATO #SteadfastNoon countries are training to cause one. #NuclearBan

🧵1/ Nuclear weapons are the most destructive, inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created. Both in the scale of the devastation they cause, and in their uniquely persistent, spreading, genetically damaging radioactive fallout, they are unlike any other. #NuclearBan

On Friday, 26 September, the UN marked the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons with a high-level event that illuminated the shadows and scars of the atomic bomb. See our report! 📰: www.reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-... @wilpf.bsky.social @nuclearban.bsky.social

1/ This is what leadership looks like👏 Thank you for being on the right side of history Kyrgyzstaand Ghana! Today we celebrate the countries stepping up for humanity: the leaders who have signed, ratified, or acceded to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. #NuclearBan

HISTORY MADE TODAY! The global majority has joined the #NuclearBan Treaty! Today Kyrgyzstan🇰🇬 signed and Ghana🇬🇭 ratified the UN Treaty banning nuclear weapons, bringing us to bringing the total to 99 out of 197 eligible states.🎉

1/ Did you know the very first UN General Assembly resolution was on nuclear disarmament? Today, on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, we reaffirm our collective commitment to a safer world, one free of nuclear weapons. #NuclearBan

💰Each year, billions are poured into nuclear weapons while communities struggle with healthcare, education, and climate resilience. Is this really sustainable security? Read more here: www.icanw.org/global_spend... #Nuclearban #Disarmament #InternationalSecurity #Divestment

1/ The US and France have followed Russia with rehearsals for the end of the world. Nuclear exercises don’t make anyone safer, they deepen insecurity and prepare for mass murder. #nuclearban 📰➡️ www.navy.mil/Press-Office... More sources in the thread 📰.

🕊 This #PeaceDay, remember: a world free from nuclear weapons is not only possible it’s necessary: 1⃣In classrooms, workplaces, even family group chats talk about the threat nukes pose. 2⃣Take action for nuclear disarmament online & offline. #NuclearBan

In just 3 years, 93 municipalities across Greece representing 3.5M people, 1/3 of the population, have joined the call for #NuclearDisarmament. ICAN’s ED Melissa Parke is in Greece meeting officials to amplify the message: Greeks say NO to nuclear weapons.✌️#NuclearBan

🧵In recent months, headlines have been filled with nuclear threats, a renewed arms race, and governments doubling down on “deterrence.” It’s fair to wonder: is any real progress toward disarmament being made? The answer is yes⬇️🔗 www.icanw.org/ican_ed_in_g... #NuclearBan

🗣️Not be missed! This ITUC webinar will reveal exactly how 7 powerful corporations are rigging the system against working people, and more importantly, how trade unions are responding to these attacks and standing together #ForDemocracy. Register here: www.ituc-csi.org/webinar-corp...

Did you know that less than 15% of the global military spending could help developing countries adapt to climate annually? Nearly half the world's population are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and yet $2.7 trillion were wasted on militaries in 2024. #NuclearBan

The atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not end World War II and here is why: merotribune.com/2025/08/25/t... #NuclearBan #Disarmament #InternationalSecurity

1/ The stories of those who've lived, survived nuclear weapons aren't only a reminder of the atrocities that they cause. They are a call to act now. At this year's @NobelPeaceOslo, Venessa Hanson shared more about #CranesofMemory and using these stories to end nuclear weapons.

🧵1/ Today is International Day Against Nuclear Testing. This year also marks 80 years since the invention, use, and testing of nuclear weapons, a reminder of the devastation they have caused since 1945. Did you know this day was established to honor victims and survivors of nuclear tests worldwide?

Marking 80 years since the invention & use of nuclear weapons and their devastating legacy from Hiroshima & Nagasaki to Alamogordo & Congo; we hosted Artists Against the Bomb in Geneva🎨🕊️ With artists, activists, diplomats & all @nuclearban partners, we say: BAN THE BOMB! 🏳️ #nuclearban

Curious about nukes? Not sure where to start? Check out the Beginner’s Guide to Nuclear Weapons. We dug deep into the facts to expose the risks, myths, and real-life impacts of nuclear weapons. We also explain how anyone can help build a safer, saner world. preventnuclearwar.org/beginners-gu...

From Paris to Athens, over 1,000 communities are taking a stand against nuclear weapons. So far, 94 countries have signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), 73 have ratified it, and 4 more have formally adhered. Read more from @nuclearban.bsky.social ➡️ buff.ly/5TEgIQV

Only humans can stop nuclear wars from happening! In 2018, 🇦🇹 ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons #TPNW. The @nuclearban.bsky.social exhibition in Geneva „Artists Against the Bomb" is a powerful reminder that the world must get rid of nuclear weapons.

🗣️“In 2024 alone, the 9 nuclear-armed states spent $100 billion on their arsenals. That’s a 47% increase in just 5 yrs. Whereas, just 1 second of nuclear weapons spending could provide 7,000+ meals for those facing famine” Daniel Högstra @nuclearban.bsky.social 📺 buff.ly/bInlGA6 📰 buff.ly/yqOVZnI

What a beautiful event in remembrance of those who perished and those who survived the nuclear bombs dropped by the U.S. 80 years ago. #CranesForPeace @nuclearban.bsky.social @backfrombrink.bsky.social

At 11.02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, the sky above Nagasaki was filled by a white flash and all the clocks stopped. A gigantic mushroom-shaped cloud soared up towards the blue sky and left a devastated city behind. #Nagasaki80 #NuclearBan www.icanw.org/remembering_...

1/ 80 years ago at 11.02 am on August 9, JST, the US dropped the atomic bomb on #Nagasaki. In a flash, thousands were dead or injured. By the end of 1945, 74,000 had died. And the consequences from the radiation have affected the survivors to this day. More here: www.icanw.org/remembering_...
