We made it ! Fifty countries have ratified the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which comes into force on 22 January. Another 84 countries have signed, but to the UK’s shame, our government has not signed up and says it never will.
London CND has joined the campaign to put pressure on Westminster to change this. In the coming year we will be asking MP, local authorities, and faith leaders in the Greater London area to sign a nuclear disarmament pledge and show their support for the Treaty. Expect more on this in January.
Nuclear weapons are the only weapons of mass destruction not banned under international law. The ratification of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons sets that right, and CND is holding a webinar about it on 16 Jan. Find out more here.
