🧵1/ The suggestion by some politicians that the Norwegian Oil Fund should seek a profit from nuclear weapons production is short-sighted and profit-driven. Investing in nuclear arms fuels proliferation & undermines disarmament efforts. #NuclearBan ft.com/content/12dd81…

"Since its entry into force, the TPNW has begun to emerge as an unexpected yet indispensable forum for questioning whether the logic of deterrence itself makes sense in a world that cannot afford the consequences of failure," writes Dr. Olamide Samuel. ⬇️ thebulletin.org/2025/04/once-s…

A world without nuclear weapons begins with truth. The #TPNW is creating space for nations to speak openly about shared risks and common futures, rejecting fear and power politics in favor of collective security. thebulletin.org/2025/04/once-s…

"European Countries ... joined the NPT to ensure that nuclear weapons would not become a geopolitical bargaining chip. The NPT is tasked to prevent precisely this logic - the idea that in times of insecurity, more nuclear weapons should be the answer." merotribune.com/2025/04/16/eur…

Michal Onderco Valerio Vignoli have a new piece in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists claiming that TPNW states are “divided about what the nuclear ban treaty means.” Bit of a sensationalist headline for showing the very reality of multilateral diplomacy in action. thebulletin.org/2025/04/four-y…

Kyrgyz Mission to UN just announced to sign and ratify the TPNW in their statement at the general debate of the #NPTPrepCom. Congratulations!

Fantastic news, Kyrgyzstan. 👏👏👏

No, it shouldn't. The argument is right there: Ulrich describes two scenarios - blackmail and land grab - and notes that blackmail against a non-nuclear state doesn't really work. If so, Europe could fight back against a land grab. If it rules out nuclear, that is 1/

Moments ago, the third #NPTPrepCom failed to adopt any outcome, reflecting a horrifying lack of urgency in response to current risks. Yet we've been encouraged by constructive leadership from #TPNW states, and their efforts to reinforce non-proliferation and disarmament norms.

This is an important development, the WHO takes up the issue of nuclear weapons again for the first time in 40 years. In a world where the use of nuclear weapons can no longer be seen as a mere hypothetical, it shows a renewed urgency to understand what a nuclear war would mean

Report that UK is considering adding US B61 bombs to jets is latest get-some-nukes-panic that’s sweeping security debate. Would make UK “independent deterrent” even more dependent on US at time when doubts about US security guarantee are growing. thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

Honored to co-author the second in a series of articles in The Washington Post about nuclear risks and challenges facing us. This one is about accidents and incidents that nearly triggered nuclear war, others that could potentially do so. washingtonpost.com/opinions/inter…

Nuclear deterrence has failed — again. If nuclear weapons really guaranteed peace and stability, we wouldn’t be facing this moment of escalation between #Israel and #Iran. A short 🧵

Syria "is littered with land mines, cluster munitions and other explosive devices" -- an enormous risk to civilians. There is a reason these indiscriminate weapons are banned. trib.al/ag6GVqD

Let me just retweet this. I think there is a chance things won't escalate this time (well, Iran might even stay in the NPT). But it's just accelerated the erosion of norms and rules. The rules-based international order, where art thou?

🆕 Planning for the Unthinkable: the targeting strategies of nuclear-armed states Intense secrecy around nuclear targeting means that most individuals—including lawmakers—do not have much understanding of how fateful decisions about what to target during wartime are made.

Happy #BANNIVERSARY! 🎉 8 years ago today, 122 states said NO to weapons of mass destruction & YES to a world without the threat of nuclear war by adopting the #NuclearBan Treaty.
