ICAN condemns yesterday's reported Indian ballistic missile test - practicing the mass killing of civilians is reprehensible and to be condemned at any time, but to do so on #HiroshimaDay is a gratuitous insult to the survivors of that atrocity. #NuclearBan defencesecurityasia.com/en/india-agn...

🎥Take a moment to hear the story of Rumi who survived the atomic bomb. Her account is heartbreaking but also proof of nuclear weapons survivors' resilience and great perseverance. ➡️https://cranesofmemory.com/ #nuclearban #hibakusha

1/ Remember when we were told a ban on nuclear weapons wouldn't happen? Because the nuclear-armed states would never allow it. Well today, the #NuclearBan which came into force just over 5 years ago, already has the support of a clear majority of states eligible to join it!

‼️"We cannot afford to be so naive as to believe that an academic theory called #nucleardeterrence will keep us safe from these weapons of mass destuction." On day 2 of the #NPT Rev Con, ICAN's Head of Policy @azakre.bsky.social reminds us of the urgency to end nuclear weapons. #NuclearBan

🗣️This year showed both the danger of nuclear weapons and the power of our movement. The global majority backed the #NuclearBan Treaty & communities honoured 80+ yrs of nuclear harm. This #GivingTuesday, help us push for a world free of nuclear weapons: www.icanw.org/donate

1/ 80 years ago at 11.02 am on August 9, JST, the US dropped the atomic bomb on #Nagasaki. In a flash, thousands were dead or injured. By the end of 1945, 74,000 had died. And the consequences from the radiation have affected the survivors to this day. More here: www.icanw.org/remembering_...

Moments ago, the third #NPTPrepCom failed to adopt any outcome, reflecting a horrifying lack of urgency in response to current risks. Yet we've been encouraged by constructive leadership from #TPNW states, and their efforts to reinforce non-proliferation and disarmament norms.

🧵1/ We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis, a global leader whose moral courage and voice for peace shaped the movement to eliminate nuclear weapons. @pontifexes.bsky.social declared both the use and possession of nuclear weapons “immoral” and supported the #NuclearBan Treaty.

1/ In these uncertain times, some argue that nuclear weapons are the answer to Europe’s security. But, as Melissa Parke puts it, the future of Europe will not be written in the shadow of mushroom clouds but by those who believe in diplomacy and disarmament. Full video here: youtu.be/M4Cx5O1yfoo?...

1/ With President Trump offering to agree with Russia and China to eliminate nuclear weapons, Europe should not be doubling down on so-called deterrence. #NuclearBan www.ft.com/content/f9e5...

Today, @nuclearban.bsky.social had the honour to witness Nihon Hidankyo accept the Nobel Peace Prize. Hibakusha have borne unimaginable pain to pursue peace. Without their stories and advocacy, the #nuclearban treaty wouldn't be a reality. I commit to carrying their legacy forward. #HoldtheMemory
