Civil society is being shut out from the NPT Review Conference in January. While the risk of nuclear weapons use is rising, the UN & the President of the NPT decide to exclude experts, scientists & survivors from these important multilateral nuclear weapons talks. 
This is not surprising though. The pandemic has been used by many governments as an excuse to silence civil society and NGOs. It is unacceptable that the United Nations, the SG, governments and the President of the NPT Review Conference let it continue to happen.
Civil society participation is about democracy, transparency and accountability, something this is extra important when it comes to decisions on matters that literally could end our world as we know it. Without civil society present at the NPT RevCon, the outcome will suffer.
At @nuclearban, we will fight for meaningful and effective civil society access to the UN and the NPT RevCon. Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation is too important for the survival of humanity to exclude scientists, experts, survivors and NGOs from the topic.
Does your organisation believes that civil society should have access to the UN and the NPT RevCon in January? DM me and I'll let you know what we're planning and what you could do.
