Last week, the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization recognized for promoting a nuclear-free world and highlighting the dangers of nuclear weapons through survivor testimonies.

Nuclear weapons should never be used again. #FactFriday

[Beatrice Fihn @BeaFihn]

As the @NobelPrize honored the #Hibakusha works with the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, I hope everyone takes the time to read their stories and share their work now. One such example is this beautiful resource made by @nuclearban. https://t.co/bsO9lYlTEP

Each year we remember bombings of Hiroshima/Nagasaki and urge leaders to reduce nuke risks, roles, numbers and move world toward disarmament. For a while after 1991 they did but now have reembraced nukes. We seem to have to learn the same lessons over and over…

[ICRC @ICRC]

The nuclear bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 15 kilotons. It killed 140,000 people. Today, people would call it "a small nuclear weapon".

Let's make it clear: there is no such thing as a 'small' nuclear weapon 👇🏽

Hiromu Morishita er en av få gjenlevende etter atombomben i Hiroshima, 6. august 1945. Budskapet hans er klart: Atomvåpen har katastrofale konsekvenser og må avskaffes.

[Norges Røde Kors @rodekorsnorge]

Hva skjer dersom et atomvåpen går av i byen du bor? Hvilken kapasitet har myndigheter og humanitære aktører til å respondere? Dette er noen av spørsmålene som ble løftet under #NukEXPO i Oslo og Brussel i april.

Røde Kors og @norskfolkehjelp mener Norge må ta en ledende rolle i arbeidet med å få på plass et rettslig bindende instrument om autonome våpen, for å sikre beskyttelse av sivile og stridende i fremtidens konflikter.

When heavy #explosive #weapons hit cities, the visible horrors are just the beginning.

❌ No power, no water, no supply chains, no food, no healthcare.
❌ The consequences multiply, like a chain reaction.

💔 Over & again, in conflicts worldwide, we see the ongoing suffering.

For NATO this is an opportunity to double down on condemnation of nuclear threats, reaffirm that nuclear war can’t be won and should never be fought, and study how Russia operates its tac nuke forces in exercise.

Just don’t take the bait and respond with NATO nuke operations!

[ICRC @ICRC]

Wars have moved into the lives, cities, and homes of ordinary people in a more vicious way than ever before.

States and non-state armed groups must remember that the Geneva Conventions protect people caught in these conflicts. #GC75

Today at the Vienna Conference on Autonomous Weapons we call for new, legally binding international rules, to prohibit those autonomous weapon systems that pose the gravest risk for IHL compliance and our values, and to place strict constraints on all others 👇🏽

[Cordula Droege @CDroegeICRC]

⁦⁦ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric:
We can’t ignore anymore allegations of use of autonomous weapon systems in today’s conflicts.
There can be no respect for #IHL without human control.
Let’s urgently uphold ethical imperatives & avoid moral failure with a binding treaty.

[Dr Patricia M Lewis @PatriciaMary]

All sessions will be livestreamed – so join online for an in-depth discussion about human judgment and accountability in autonomous weapons systems on April 29th. The livestream can be found here: https://t.co/CW3hv1CERq #AWS2024Vienna

States already under obligation to ensure autonomous weapons are in compliance w/ international humanitarian law, but #IHL isn't static, & for #AWS we need a framework w/ specific bans- @ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric Egger #AWS2024
