Just as Hiroshima students shared their steps for peace in the Children's Commitment to Peace today, we appeal to all govts to protect current & future generations of children by eliminating nuclear weapons, via #nuclearban treaty.

On this day 79 years ago, the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, killing more than 140,000 people, including some 23,000 children. One of the worst atrocities ever committed. https://t.co/aWGFYAKYyA

An example of things we love to see on our feed.😍

Big shout out to the @GreenhamWomen whose political resistance to the nuclear arms race, to patriarchy and violence in all its forms kicked US missiles off British soil👏☮️

2/ Special thanks to @ICRC, @SAfrPMUN_Geneva, @MFA_KZ, @ThaimissionGVA, and @disarmamentNZ for their partnership and for co-convening these important sessions on how we can foster nuclear disarmament.

[ICAN @nuclearban]

🧵1/ On the sidelines of #NPTPrepCom, we met with delegations from Central Asia, Africa, and Asia-Pacific to discuss the universalisation of the #NuclearBan Treaty, its links with NWFZs, the links with other social causes, and of course the great role of states in these regions.

[Tim Wright @TimMilesWright]

What is the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)? And how is it different from the newer Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)? See our explainer here. https://t.co/pNx6i8q7qG #NPTPrepCom

3/ The Meeting of States Parties to the #TPNW provides that avenue. Not only is the #TPNW complementary to the #NPT, but it also presents a plan for the elimination of these weapons of mass destruction. #NuclearBan https://t.co/Oj2Ng3QB14

2/ The repeated failure to reach a consensus highlights the unfortunate paralysis of the #NPT. This is not an excuse for inaction. Instead, it serves as further proof that urgent action is needed to address nuclear disarmament. #NuclearBan

🧵1/For the second year in a row, the #NPTPrepCom meeting has concluded without an adopted summary agreed upon by all state parties. This is dealing a further blow to the #NPT Process, as the previous two #NPTRevCon failed to agree on any progress

🗣️Nuclear weapons disproportionately harm children.

We consulted paediatricians and other experts to put together this detailed report on the many ways children are more vulnerable to the effects of nuclear weapons, particularly ionising radiation.

5/ Children played no part in creating nuclear weapons, yet they will suffer the most if ever they are used again. Governments must protect them by eliminating these doomsday devices. We urgently appeal to all countries to join the #NuclearBan Treaty.

4/ Nuclear weapons are indiscriminate by nature and cannot be used without killing or injuring large numbers of children. We have a responsibility to do better to protect the innocent. #NuclearBan

3/ Under international law, governments have an obligation to protect children in armed conflict. To fulfil this obligation, they must take urgent action to eliminate nuclear weapons, given that such weapons disproportionately harm children.
