@SahilV_Shah @StLiechtenstein @alexbward The hell is "its equivalent"?

[Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova @GaukharM]

@russianforces And apparently the RevCon still continues?

[Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova @GaukharM]

@CNS_MasakoToki Thank you, Masako

[Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova @GaukharM]

Many States parties still waiting to take the floor at the closing of the 2026 #NPTRevCon. Yours truly is bowing out, though. Thanks for following.

[Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova @GaukharM]

@CNS_MasakoToki Delegates don't sound as crushed as in 2022, but the atmosphere is somber

US proposes to separate the paragraphs on enhanced reporting into a stand-alone decision, to salvage something from the #NPTRevCon.

[Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova @GaukharM]

@CNS_MasakoToki Sadly, yes.
Many more States waiting to take the floor.

18:06 on the clock, and interpreters have to leave. #NPTRevCon plenary continues in English.
Unclear when the lights will go out. #budgetcuts

*no live webcast

[Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova @GaukharM]

Wifi is down in the General Assembly Hall, and apparently there's now live webcast from the last #NPTRevCon session. Pity.
