๐Ÿงต1/4 In Vienna, history was made ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ Here are three highlights from the outcomes of the #TPNW1MSP that explain why it's so revolutionary in its plan to end nuclear weapons. #nuclearban
2/4 Condemning nuclear threats: in response to Russiaโ€™s nuclear threats and the increasing dangers of nuclear war, states made clear in the Vienna Declaration that nuclear threats are never acceptable.
3/4 Specific to-dos: States agreed on a 50 point action plan to end nuclear weapons including everything from spreading the word on the #humanitarian harm of nuclear weapons, to assisting survivors of nuclear weapons use and testing and planning a trust fund for affected states.
4/4 Listening to survivors: nuclear weapons use and testing survivors have been advocating for the #TPNW for a long time and attended the MSP. Affected states such as Kiribati and Kazakhstan are leading a working group. States have committed to include them every step of the way!

WE DID IT! #TPNW1MSP just adopted the Vienna Declaration & Action Plan - the strongest multilateral condemnation of nuclear threats and concrete steps on how states will end nuclear weapons through #nuclearban. More here:

1. No nuclear threats are ever acceptable. Participating states repeated this throughout the conference, and the adopted declaration made it clear: Call it blackmail or deterrence, it is illegal, immoral & dangerous. 2/11 #nuclearban
2. Eliminating nuclear weapons. States set a deadline of 10 years to eliminate nuclear weapons when nuclear-armed states join the TPNW and 90 days for the removal of weapons from host states when they join the Treaty. 3/11

We have been talking a lot about the big first meeting of state parties to the TPNW, but what will actually be discussed? The provisional agenda was just adopted, here is whatโ€™s on the table. A ๐Ÿงต 1/12 #nuclearban #Vienna Image
The meeting will begin by electing officers and with some introductions and statements from high level-officials, including UN secretary-general @antonioguterres 2/12
Then delegates will go through important elements like officially adopting the agenda, the rules of procedure, deciding on how to organize work, and a general exchange of views 3/12

๐Ÿงต1/ Nuclear weapons have not been detonated only in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, over the years nuclear armed states have done over 2000 #nucleartests causing catastrophic damage to human lives and our planet. Scroll to learn more.
2/ The two atomic bombs the US dropped on Japan in 1945 killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of people, and their effects are still being felt today. More here: icanw.org/hiroshima_and_โ€ฆ

๐Ÿงต1/ Many have questions about the former stationing of Soviet nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory during the Cold War given the ongoing crisis. Scroll to read about it and learn more here: icanw.org/faq_on_ukraineโ€ฆ

#nuclearban #Ukrainecisis #Russis Image
2/ Ukraine never had an independent nuclear weapons arsenal, it inherited an aging nuclear arsenal, from the Soviet Union, over which it did not have operational control and could not have safely maintained. Image
3/ Arguments that Ukraine would not have been invaded if it had nuclear weapons are fallacies, there is little convincing historical evidence that the possession or presence of nuclear weapons prevents conflict. #nuclearban Image

One question weโ€™ve been asked a lot lately is how many nuclear warheads exist right now.
Keep scrolling to find out โฌ‡๏ธ

The numbers are absurd. There is no way we could respond to the devastating consequences of a nuclear war thatโ€™s why we need the #nuclearban!
