🧵1/ As states are currently gathered for the #NPTRevCon, there's little expectation that much will be achieved. 2 consecutive rev cons have ended without agreement. The nuclear arsenals that the treaty was designed to eliminate are being expanded. We discuss it here: www.icanw.org/the_cornerst...

#NPT: Nuclear weapons won't disappear on their own; Belgium, too, must choose. Pax Christi's Security Expert Ms Zoka writes about this and the uncomfortable truth: after years of promises, a few states keep moving us further away from nuclear disarmament: www.mo.be/opinie/kernw... #NuclearBan

This new report from @nuclearban.bsky.social (www.icanw.org/the_cornerst...) hits on one of my biggest issues with the current state of diplomacy and disarmament. States need to recognize that their choices create the environment. It is not an abstract thing.

Don't always agree with @nuclearban.bsky.social but this is an absolutely key point.

🧵1/ NOT TO BE MISSED if you're at #NPTRevCon at UN HQ today‼️ ICAN and Pax Christi Flanders' event "How have Nuclear-Armed States and Their Allies Advanced the #NPT" happens today at 10:00am Eastern Time at the HQ. Set a reminder here: www.icanw.org/how_have_nuc...

🧵1/ States of the #NPT are meeting at the UN amid high tensions between nuclear-armed members, with the US and Russia involved in wars against non-nuclear-armed states Iran and Ukraine. Today, civil society, including @nuclearban.bsky.social , addressed the conference: www.icanw.org/ican_address...

This is a UN-sponsored multilateral nuclear disarmament conference All our MPs who state they support multilateral nuclear disarmament should surely be supporting it shouldn’t they?

At the 11th #NPTRevCon, it was inspiring to see the strong turnout welcoming the Nihon Hidankyo (Nobel Peace 24) delegation. Their unwavering support for the #TPNW, and the solidarity at the rally reflect a growing global commitment to #NuclearBan👏 📸Mike Johnson | Seth Shelden

🎙️At the #NPTRevCon, #TPNW States Parties & Signatories delivered a clear message: Rising nuclear threats, weakening arms control, and expanding arsenals are dangerous developments that demand immediate and decisive action fron nuclear armed states and their allies. #NuclearBan

IPPNW's Program Director, Molly McGinty, facilitated a panel discussing "Where we go from here". The panel featured speakers from @nuclearban.bsky.social, @backfrombrink.bsky.social, SPARK (Solidarity for Peace and Reunification of Korea), and Gensuikyo. Here we go into the NPT RevCon!

Yesterday, before the opening of the 11th NPT Review Conference, the IPPNW delegation co-sponsored and attended a summit for civil society to discuss pathways to a #nuclear free world. We heard from Hibakusha, experts, and diplomats to prepare us for the month ahead. #peace

‼️"We cannot afford to be so naive as to believe that an academic theory called #nucleardeterrence will keep us safe from these weapons of mass destuction." On day 2 of the #NPT Rev Con, ICAN's Head of Policy @azakre.bsky.social reminds us of the urgency to end nuclear weapons. #NuclearBan

🧵The 11th #NPT Rev Con starts today at the UN HQ. As states gather there is little expectation that much will be achieved. @florianeblenkamp.bsky.social explains ICAN's new Cornerstone Report on how this happened, and what can still be done to implement the NPT. Read: www.icanw.org/the_cornerst...

🗣️As @susisnyder.bsky.social says: "For the 1st time in years, investors profiting from an arms race are on the rise, a short-term, risky strategy fueling dangerous escalation. You can’t profit from an arms race without feeding it. [..]" See who’s behind: www.icanw.org/investors_su... #NuclearBan

🧵1/ The latest #DontBankontheBomb report shows that the top three investors, measured by the value of shares and bonds, are Vanguard, Blackrock and Capital Group. The top three lenders are Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. Learn more here: www.icanw.org/investors_su...

301 financial institutions are heavily involved in the nuclear weapons industry—a 15% increase compared to previous findings. Workers’ savings, pensions & public funds should support decent work & sustainable development—not weapons of mass destruction. Is your bank or pension fund on the list?

For the 1st time in years there’s a growing trend to invest in nuclear weapons. #DontBankontheBomb identifies 301 banks, insurance companies, pension funds and other asset management companies w/ exposure to the industry. Is your bank on the list? Learn more 📽️⬇️ youtu.be/1tLBIwPyPxc?... #NuclearBan

🧵1/ When it comes to nuclear weapons, it's crucial to follow the money. And the “Don’t Bank on the Bomb” report does just that. It's the only regularly published source on the private companies involved in producing nuclear weapons and their financiers and more. #NuclearBan

🧵1/ Any attack near a nuclear facility is playing roulette with civilian lives, nuclear risks are immediate and human. The US, Israel and Iran must stop all military action and return to diplomacy. Read ICAN's full update here: www.icanw.org/iran_strike_... #NuclearBan #ProtectCivilians
