🧵1/ The opening for signature of the #CTBT 25 years ago was incredibly important for int'l peace and security after decades of nuclear testing with catastrophic humanitarian consequences. As states meet today at the UN Security Council, they must act to bring it into force‼️
2/ The #CTBT established the first international ban on underground and atmospheric nuclear testing and created an international monitoring system for nuclear tests. It has near universal support and has perpetuated a global moratorium on nuclear testing➡️ctbto.org/the-treaty/
3/Survivors of nuclear weapons use and testing have played a key role in achieving both the #CTBT and #nuclearban which complements the CTBT’s ban on testing and includes landmark provisions to assist survivors of nuclear tests and to begin to remediate contaminated environments.
Amazing news to kick off the weekend: we have not one but TWO ratifications of the #nuclearban treaty, Comoros & the Philippines!👏 Great show of support, a little under a month since the treaty entered into force. Congratulations to all involved @DFAPHL @MaeciDiplomatie #thread
Next to ratifying the #TPNW, Comoros also ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty #CTBT, highlighting just how strongly they support a world without nuclear weapons & the complementary nature of the treaties. @Azali_officiel @Beit_Salam @MaeciDiplomatie @ctbto_alerts
The Philippines was among the first countries to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons back in 2017. It said then: “If we listen to each other, we will hear the same thing: We have no need for nuclear weapons.”
During #UNGA 🇩🇪 & 🇩🇿 take over the presidency of the conference on facilitating the entry in force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty #CTBT. Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas: Let us join forces - to put an end to nuclear testing once and for all.
Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas: „Nuclear buildup, dangerous rhetoric and eroding arms control arrangements – the current trend is alarming. That's why I decided to personally support the #CTBT.”
„We will proceed towards bringing the #CTBT into force. It requires international cooperation and commitment – true multilateralism.“ Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas
