The UN held consultations on autonomous weapon systems this week. It's clear that most of the world wants to prohibit and restrict these weapons. The question is whether states will act before it's too late. See our report for details! 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty meeting ended without adopting recommendations for next year or a decision on strengthening the review process. States need to take urgent action now to prevent nuclear violence. Get the full scoop with our final report: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty spends a third of its time proliferating propaganda for nuclear energy. But as we point out in our latest NPT News in Review, this technology generates grave harm and serious risks for people and for the planet. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

Next week delegations will meet in NYC for a consultation on autonomous weapons. Amidst growing militarism and the dismantling of multilateralism, this is a crucial moment to advance ongoing discussions of a ban treaty. 🗞️ www.reachingcriticalwill.org/disarmament-...

As the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty continues its work this week, horror rages outside. Israel's genocide and India + Pakistan's conflict, among others, put the world in peril. Will NPT members be brave enough to save the world with nuclear abolition?

At the NPT PrepCom, the nuclear-armed states continued to defend their weapons and doctrines, trying to manufacture consent for the risks they create through their policies and practices. It is up to the rest of us to organise around them for disarmament.

Given the current global situation, there isn't enough panic at the NPT PrepCom. The general debate was full of excuses for proliferating nuclear weapons. But the majority of states pushed back on the lies and demanded urgent action to save us all. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...
