🧵1/ Nuclear weapons are the most destructive, inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created. Both in the scale of the devastation they cause, and in their uniquely persistent, spreading, genetically damaging radioactive fallout, they are unlike any other. #NuclearBan

3/ Most of the world now reject the dangerous myth of “nuclear deterrence” and are demanding real progress on disarmament and by making nuclear weapons illegal under international law, the treaty places them alongside chemical and biological weapons as unacceptable. #NuclearBan

2/ The global majority joining the #NuclearBan Treaty is more than a number. It’s a turning point, why? Because the #NuclearBan Treaty has broken the dominance of nuclear-armed states over the debate, exposing them as a small minority clinging to their weapons of mass destruction

1/ The US and France have followed Russia with rehearsals for the end of the world. Nuclear exercises don’t make anyone safer, they deepen insecurity and prepare for mass murder. #nuclearban
