“Tonight I want to talk about peace,” Henry Wallace said, warning that “he who trusts in the atom bomb will sooner or later perish by the atom bomb.”

Human rights monitors criticized senior UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh's candidacy to be the next UN chief on Tuesday, citing her role in championing the country's foreign policy and denying the UAE's role in fuelling the conflict in Sudan. https://t.co/bkSdIv7fhY

Some of the sharpest analyses of Israeli politics come from Daniel Levy.

This should be subtitled in every language. Short, clear, impeccable.

It's #DisarmamentWeek! Let's talk about our favorite tool for humanitarian disarmament, the Nuclear Ban Treaty. Next month we'll head to the UN for it's first Review Conference.

Curious how an international legal document is paving the road to total nuclear disarmament? (1/3🧵)

@MelissaParke01 alerta de que los líderes políticos hablan de disuasión y seguridad, pero ignoran las consecuencias humanitarias de una detonación nuclear.

"La única forma en que puedes prepararte es previniéndola".

La eliminación de estas armas es la única garantía.

[Alianza por el Desarme Nuclear @ADesarmeNuclear]

@MelissaParke01 alertó del creciente riesgo de una guerra nuclear, cuestionó la doctrina de la disuasión y lanzó un mensaje directo a nuestro Gobierno: España tiene la oportunidad de hacer historia y liderar el desarme nuclear desde dentro de la OTAN.

Tenía siete años cuando una bomba atómica destruyó Hiroshima. Hoy, a sus 88 años, sigue luchando para que aquella tragedia no vuelva a repetirse.

Ayer tuvimos el honor de acompañar a la hibakusha Michiko Kodama en Manzanares el Real (Madrid), donde compartió su testimonio.

También participó @MelissaParke01, directora ejecutiva de la Campaña Internacional para la Abolición de las Armas Nucleares (@nuclearban), Premio Nobel de la Paz 2017, que defendió la urgencia de acabar con estas armas y avanzar hacia su prohibición definitiva.

🎉 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.

“Helen Prejean, a Catholic nun who is perhaps the best-known advocate for abolition of the death penalty in America after her book Dead Man Walking was turned into a film of the same name, told the Guardian that the events on Wednesday night were the definition of cruelty.
“This is the essence of cruelty. Take a conscious, imaginative human being, give her a date for her death, have her anticipate it over and over again, and then take her out and try and kill her. She was rendered defenceless as they deliberately attempted to kill her - what greater mental torture for a human being is there?”
Prejean added that she hoped the agony Pike had endured “would be redemptive for others, and help to wake up the nation”.”

From uranium mining and milling to tests in our atmosphere, oceans, and lands, nuclear weapons have left a trail of radioactive harm on people and the planet for over 80 years.

[ICAN @nuclearban]

Russia's reported threat to use nuclear weapons against #NATO countries is irresponsible. Threatening to strike "Decision-making centres" means cities full of people.
Nuclear threats are prohibited under the #TPNW and must be condemned by all states.

Later this year, when governments meet in NY for the First Review Conference of the #nuclearbantreaty, they will have an opportunity to advance disarmament and strengthen support for the victims of #nuclearweapons

[ICAN @nuclearban]

The countries that possess nuclear weapons, and those whose policies provide political cover for them, must also be held responsible for efforts to eliminate them.
