The Pacific region that knows the human cost of nuclear weapons better than most is strengthening the global taboo against these weapons.

Congratulations to Tonga (@TongaMfa) – the 100th state to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons #TPNW, and on joining the Test Ban Treaty #CTBT the same day.

A historic day for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons: on the 9th anniversary of its adoption, Tonga acceded, making it a total of 100 states that signed or ratified the #TPNW. A clear global majority for sustainable international security, not one based on catastrophic consequences.

Only 5 years on, more than half of all states have signed the #TPNW & we‘re working towards its 1st Review Conference. What a journey for a Treaty considered impossible. With its spotlight on security concerns of the non-nuclear majority, it has given agency to survivors, science - and all of us.

We welcome the readiness by Russia & the US to adhere to the #NewSTART limits for a year after expiry. More nuclear weapons won’t make anyone safer – neither the US, nor Russia nor the rest of the world. Let us use this time to get to deeper cuts through a new agreement.

The need for #cooperation is obvious to scientists - it needs to return to nuclear diplomacy, too, to eliminate the threat of #nukes to all of us once and for all

80 years ago, the #UNCharter was signed. It marked the beginning of a new world order based on int’l law & cooperation, where might does not make right but where the rule of law prevails. In times like these, the #UNCharter should remain our guiding beacon of hope, more than ever.

Am heutigen #MineAwarenessDay habe ich österreichische Soldaten besucht, die in 🇧🇦 die zivile Minenräumung durch Training unterstützen. Minen töten Zivilisten Jahrzehnte über die Konflikte hinaus und machen Land unnutzbar. Ich werde mich auch weiterhin für das Verbot dieser Waffen einsetzen.

To further engage science & academia, a network was created, as #Austrian SAG member Prof. Seibert laid out. Read the SAG's updated report here: docs.un.org/en/TPNW/MSP/...
