Celebrations in Aotearoa New Zealand to mark the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will begin on Thursday 21 January with ICAN Aotearoa New Zealand’s Wellington and online event, and continue on Friday 22 January.
The TPNW bans the development, testing, production, manufacture, possession, transfer, use or threat of use, deployment, installation or stationing of nuclear weapons and other nuclear explosive devices, as well as assistance, encouragement or inducement of any of these prohibited activities. It provides a pathway for nuclear-armed states to join and to destroy their nuclear weapons in a time-bound, verifiable and irreversible manner. As we said at the time it was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, “its potential to end the threat of nuclear destruction is a gift for future generations.” (ICAN Aotearoa New Zealand, 8 July 2017).
