August 6 and 9 mark the 80th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. I wrote for @us.theconversation.com about their influence in crafting the nuclear nonproliferation regime and on the perils of retreating from their memories. theconversation.com/the-treaty-m...

theconversation.com

The treaty meant to control nuclear risks is under strain 80 years after the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

In the wake of the US attacks, the international community asked itself how it could ensure that such horrors were never repeated.

Tremendous progress has been made in reducing global nuclear stockpiles and nuclear risks, but we are now heading in the wrong direction. Poised at the beginning of a new, complex, and dangerous nuclear arms race, Nobel Laureates and nuclear weapons policy experts must now speak together.

There’s a real danger that a conventional war could spiral out of control and lead to nuclear threats, or even the use of nuclear weapons, which could kill millions quickly and cause long-lasting harm far beyond the countries fighting. Such escalation must be prevented.
