🗣️At the conference on nuclear weapons happening now in Accra, Dr. Adedeji Ebo, Director and Deputy to the High Rep for the UN Office of Disarmament Affairs, emphasises the #NuclearBan Treaty's role in reinforcing the norm that weapons are immoral and must be eliminated. More below⬇️

Much has been said recently about the “end of the old world order.” The #Greenland threats, speeches in #Davos, and the strain on multilateralism make many conclude that norms, and international law are replaced by raw power politics. Understnadable - but also superficial and incomplete.
For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the ‘rules-based international order.’

That order is not coming back, but from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.

🧵5 years ago today, the #NuclearBan Treaty entered into force meaning it became legally binding intenational law.

Thanks to the treaty, for the first time in history nuclear weapons are illegal and there is a plan to eliminate them. #5yearsTPNW 🥳

Did you know that, 5 years ago this month, the #NuclearBan Treaty became international law?

At a time of rising tensions and growing nuclear risks, this anniversary is a reminder: a different future is not only possible, it’s already underway.

Our article "Atomic Responsiveness" by @smetanamichal.bsky.social @laurensukin.bsky.social @herzogsm.bsky.social & @mvranka.bsky.social recently sparked a scholarly discussion with @florianeblenkamp.bsky.social. We've just published a series of Policy Briefs that documents this exchange 👇

Remember the India-Pakistan war? Remember US and Israel bombing Iran? Remember Russian leadership bragging about nuking European capitals? Remember Trump announcing to resume nuclear testing? That was all this year.

At ICAN, we wish for the opposite. A world free of nuclear weapons-
🗣️This year showed both the danger of nuclear weapons and the power of our movement. The global majority backed the #NuclearBan Treaty & communities honoured 80+ yrs of nuclear harm.

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.

The posession of nuclear weapons and outspending all other nuclear weapons states combined (!) has not deterred attacks against American military bases. Nuclear deterrence is a scam.

Breaking News: Iran said it launched an attack on Al Udeid Air Base, an American base in Qatar that is the largest U.S. military post in the Middle East, according to its state media.

This war makes fence-sitting no longer an option. Being neutral is not an option. After the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, governments must answer a simple question: Are they for or against nuclear weapons?
June 22, 2025 at 4:46 PM
True also for all nuclear weapon states 👇
You know what would have offered Iran much better protection than nuclear weapons? Having a reasonable (non-aggressive) policy toward its neighbors.

ICAN condemns the United States’ illegal military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
By joining Israel’s strikes, the US is violating international law and putting global non-proliferation efforts at risk.

1/ Although we were disappointed by the proceedings of last week’s #NPTPrepCom, and its non-outcome, we managed to hold a number of promising meetings on the sidelines, including relating to the Treaty on the Prohibiton of Nuclear Weapons. More #NuclearBan meetings in the thread🧵

Moments ago, the third #NPTPrepCom failed to adopt any outcome, reflecting a horrifying lack of urgency in response to current risks.

Yet we've been encouraged by constructive leadership from #TPNW states, and their efforts to reinforce non-proliferation and disarmament norms.
