International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
2017 @nobelprize winner. Working with governments, @icrc and @UN to eliminate nuclear weapons. #nuclearban

[Ireland at UN @IrishMissionUN]

Today at #UNGA81 First Committee, 🇮🇪 highlighted that progress on disarmament and non-proliferation obligations are urgently needed amid growing nuclear risks.

We cannot allow today’s challenges to undo the progress we have achieved.

Ireland remains firm: more nuclear weapons do not bring greater security.

[Alianza por el Desarme Nuclear @ADesarmeNuclear]

Cada persona tiene el poder de contribuir a un mundo libre de armas nucleares.

Hoy hemos visitado el Jardín de la Paz de Rivas-Vaciamadrid y compartido un encuentro con jóvenes en el Centro Cultural Soka Gakkai.

@CNDuk Any use of nuclear weapons would cause catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences, and by the way it's illegitimate!

Nuclear weapons remain amongst the foremost threats to humanity, according to the Lancet's recent report on global risks.

Despite a reduction in global stockpiles since the Cold War, there are STILL more than enough nuclear weapons to end humanity by triggering nuclear winter.

Norwegian review recommends opening wealth fund to nuclear weapons producers. This would allow companies based in the US, France and the UK previously excluded over their involvement in nuclear weapons production, to return to the fund’s investment. ℹ️https://t.co/jZhaEV5zmJ

@redsehlac @nuclearban_jp @fundacionsadako @peace_boat @PAXforpeace @appargentina1 @Mario_Bergara Felicitaciones #Montevideo por su compromiso con el desarme nuclear y por contribuir al impulso global hacia la eliminación de estas armas catastróficas.

Esperamos que otras ciudades vecinas se unan a nuestra inicitive #ICANsave my city: https://t.co/stjRpdCRK8

[SEHLAC @redsehlac]

Las ciudades son mucho más que sus edificios: son comunidades, memorias, vínculos, cultura y futuro. Frente a la amenaza que representan las armas nucleares, los gobiernos locales también pueden asumir un rol activo en la construcción de una cultura de paz y desarme. 1/2 🧵⤵️

[ICAN @nuclearban]

@MelissaParke01 The @ICRC and other humanitarian organisations are clear that an adequate emergency response to a nuclear detonation will not be possible.

[ICAN @nuclearban]

NATO begins its annual practice #SteadfastNoon to fight a nuclear war while others use missiles to send a similar message.
The yearly exercise is claimed to be defensive and not aimed at any country, but it can serve to increase tensions with Russia.

@MelissaParke01 In the past two years, European countries have emphasised the role of nuclear weapons to their military plans and some European politicians have talked openly about the need to acquire their own weapons – contrary to their legal commitments under the NPT.

[ICAN @nuclearban]

As threats towards peace & security are discussed during the #FirstCommittee of the UNGA this month, we want to emphasize our deep concern at the expansion of the so-called #nuclearumbrella, in particular by France with some EU countries such as Finland and Lithuania.

🎉 Congratulations to the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Navi Pillay!
Her dedicated work reminds us that building a peaceful world requires courage, accountability and strong international institutions.
We hope to her at the #TPNW First Review Conference in NYC this November.

[PT Muñoz Ledo @PTMunozledo]

At 🇺🇳UN First Committee, 🇲🇽 on behalf of New Agenda Coalition (🇧🇷🇪🇬🇮🇪🇲🇽🇳🇿🇿🇦) stressed that nuclear disarmament obligations and commitments remain legally binding regardless of the security environment, and urgently called for progress towards a world free on nuclear weapons 🕊☮️

"Research has shown there is also the danger that AI advises escalation to the use of nuclear weapons much more easily than humans do ... Even AI experts don’t understand enough about why AI is doing these things"

[Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo @RetePaceDisarmo]

@nuclearban E non è vero che «la pensano tutti così»: 122 Paesi hanno votato il Trattato #TPNW nel 2017 e oggi 101 lo hanno firmato o ratificato.

Italia, ripensaci! E lavora per il #DisarmoNucleare

What could £15bn buy for Scotland, instead of renovations for a nuclear weapons base?

Here's just a couple of ideas.

COMMENT with your own thoughts for how to spend an extra £15bn in Scotland.
