💡I'd like to recognize Amb Elayne Whyte, whose leadership & determination were instrumental in the negotiation of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Also former USG Angela Kane for her role overseeing the international mission that led to the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria.

🌍 Today we celebrate Women in Diplomacy, those who navigate complex negotiations, bring empathy into high-stakes rooms, and reshape what leadership looks like in international affairs.

🧬A crossroads we can’t afford to miss: In 2025, the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC)'ll turn 50 years & every one of the BWC’s 189 States Parties will decide whether to give the treaty its first real upgrade & make it future-proof. Yet outside our disarmament bubble, the world is barely watching.
