The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty spends a third of its time proliferating propaganda for nuclear energy. But as we point out in our latest NPT News in Review, this technology generates grave harm and serious risks for people and for the planet. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

As the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty continues its work this week, horror rages outside. Israel's genocide and India + Pakistan's conflict, among others, put the world in peril. Will NPT members be brave enough to save the world with nuclear abolition?

At the NPT PrepCom, the nuclear-armed states continued to defend their weapons and doctrines, trying to manufacture consent for the risks they create through their policies and practices. It is up to the rest of us to organise around them for disarmament.

📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

Given the current global situation, there isn't enough panic at the NPT PrepCom. The general debate was full of excuses for proliferating nuclear weapons. But the majority of states pushed back on the lies and demanded urgent action to save us all. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

📢 Against the backdrop of escalating global militarization, the Geneva Academy, Quaker United Nations Office in Geneva (QUNO) and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom - WILPF are hosting a public event.
