Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force on January 22, 2021.
Together, we can create a safer future for all humanity.
The only use of nuclear weapons in warfare kills over 200,000 people and demonstrates the catastrophic humanitarian consequences.
"Remember your humanity, and let the rest be forgotten" - Leading scientists call for nuclear disarmament.
122 countries vote to adopt the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at the United Nations.
On January 22, the TPNW becomes international law, making nuclear weapons illegal under international law.
"This truly marks the beginning of the end of nuclear weapons"
