TREATY TO PROHIBIT NUCLEAR WEAPONS
BECOMES INTERNATIONAL LAW JANUARY 22nd
January 22nd, 2021 may be a bleak post-holiday time for many of us, but for 84 countries all over the world it will be a day of celebration ---the day that the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons becomes International Law.
The Treaty (TPNW) outlaws the development, manufacture, testing, possession, transfer, acquisition, stockpiling, use or threat of use, control or receipt, stationing or deployment of nuclear weapons. Its Entry into Force on January 22nd will make anything to do with nuclear weapons illegal under International Law.
An announcement from the UN asserted that the Treaty “is the culmination of a worldwide movement to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons, and represents a meaningful commitment towards the total elimination of nuclear weapons,”
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), a Nobel Peace Prize winner, celebrated the treaty’s milestone saying, “This is a new chapter for nuclear disarmament. Decades of activism have achieved what many said was impossible: nuclear weapons are banned.”
In the United States, peace activists and others opposed to the use of nuclear weapons will celebrate the TPNW’s entry into force by raising awareness of its existence, holding demonstrations, calling on corporations, colleges, and city governments to divest from investments in companies that make nuclear weapons, and urging Senators, Representatives, and local leaders to call for the United States to begin the process to become the first nuclear-weapons-possessing-nation to sign.
The Beginning of the End of Nuclear Weapons, a documentary that explains how the treaty was ratified, will be featured at a ZOOM video watch party on Friday evening, January 22nd, at 7 pm, Eastern. Sponsoring organizations include World Beyond War, Stop Banking the Bomb Campaign, the Christian Alliance for Peace, Coalition for Peace Action, and Divest Philly from the War Machine Coalition.
