2/ In a survey by Finnish Red Cross, the vast majority of Finns believe that nuclear weapons should not be used under any circumstances. As our partners state: "The government's proposal [..] is contrary to the will and security of the Finns and is taking Finland in a wrong direction." #NuclearBan

🧵1/ Finland plans to lift its long-standing ban on having nuclear weapons on its territory. But as ICAN Finland puts it, there is no such thing as responsible use of nuclear weapons. The ban on nuclear weapons should continue to be in force. Read more: icanfinland.fi/ajankohtaist...

4/As we have always stated, deterrence is a permanent gamble. It fuels escalation and keeps the world 1 miscalculation from catastrophe. France even suggested a nuclear strike could be used as a “warning.” That’s not security.

3/ New French/German nuclear cooperation, citing NATO & the #NPT means:
⚠️ joint participation in nuclear exercises
⚠️ visits to strategic sites
⚠️ talks on nuclear + missile defence “mixes”
but no commitment to disarmament, though they’re both legally bound to work on it.

ICAN’s Susi Snyder on the US attack on Iran and Macron’s European nuclear push YouTube video by International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

🧵1/ Iran does not have nuclear weapons. Israel and the United States do. In Europe, France wants to expand the role of its nuclear weapons. All this is dangerous and escalates the risk of nuclear weapons use, but we have a solution: it’s called the #NuclearBan Treaty📽️🔗⬇️

ICAN condemns U.S. & Israeli attacks on Iran

🧵1/ ICAN condemns the illegal attack by nuclear-armed states, the US and Israel, on Iran. These attacks are totally irresponsible and risk provoking further escalation as well as increasing the danger of nuclear proliferation and use. #NuclearBan

2/ Any peace plan for Ukraine must also be a peace plan for nuclear disarmament. If we simply freeze the front line and leave nuclear threats untouched, we are accepting that this can happen again in Ukraine, or somewhere else. Read more here: www.icanw.org/four_years_o...

“Stop tinkering at the edges”: Melissa Parke and Jane Kinninmont on nukes in the UK Parliament YouTube video by International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

#Multilateralism and #NuclearBan, two key words that Melissa Parke emphasised in her meetings with parliamentarians in the UK like Jane Kinninmont. As rightly highlighted, it is time to stop tinkering around the edges and take concrete action to prevent nuclear war.

3/ For countries interested in security, a good place to start would be in joining the majority of the world in advancing the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Did you know that between 1945 and 2017, more than 2,000 #NuclearTests were conducted at sites now located in 15 countries? Till date, the devastating long-lasting, and in many cases severe, impacts of the test are still felt.
