Yesterday, the UN General Assembly accepted an important resolution to form an independent scientific committee, researching the effects of #nuclear war. 144 countries voted in favour, 30 abstained (including 5 nuclear weapon states 🇮🇱🇮🇳🇺🇸🇵🇰🇰🇵, Luxembourg and other NATO states), and three voted against 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇷🇺.

In 78 Recorded Votes, First Committee Approves 24 Drafts on Nuclear Weapons, Including Traditional Text on Road Map to Nuclear-Weapon-Free World | Meetings Coverage and Press Releases

A wide-ranging draft resolution on steps to building a common road map towards a world without nuclear weapons (document A/C.1/79/L.41) would have the General Assembly urge all States, especially the nuclear-weapon States, to make every effort to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again, as the First Committee (Disarmament and International Security) today opened a week of action on nearly 80 proposals from delegations.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but how on Earth are we supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, universal pre-K, or climate action as politicians discuss increasing our annual defense budget to $886 billion?

A short piece on nuclear sharing with @russianforces and Zia Mian:

We summarize historical cases of nuclear sharing, its current status - including 🇷🇺 nuclear weapon deployment in Belarus, and suggest the issue as an agenda item for the NPT Review Cycle

Bombs away: Confronting the deployment of nuclear weapons in non-nuclear weapon countries

Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty members meet in Vienna next week to begin another cycle of assessing progress on nonproliferation and disarmament. A contentious part of the NPT debate will likely involve the NPT countries that do not have nuclear weapons but host nuclear weapons belonging to the United States or Russia, which recently announced it would station nuclear weapons in Belarus.
