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?

🧵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.

3/ ICAN’s Seth Shelden gave a presentation about the growing membership of the treaty, including that the treaty has just reached a “global majority” of states as parties or signatories. This is a clear sign of momentum and an invitation for all States to step up and join the #NuclearBan.
October 21, 2025 at 9:58 AM
2/ Speakers discussed their commitment to advancing the universalisation of the treaty and discussed the work being done to implement it; they shared resources to support States ready to join the treaty, and emphasised the treaty’s role in advancing global nuclear disarmament. #NuclearBan

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.

2/ And while NATO may frame that as “ensuring that NATO’s nuclear deterrent remains safe, secure and effective,” let’s not forget what nuclear weapons actually do: wipe out entire cities and mass murder civilians. #NuclearBan

🧵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.

2/ But there is a way to stop these inhumane weapons from ever being used again and that is the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Read more here: www.icanw.org/the_treaty #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

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
