Today, across the globe, it is a day of international celebration. For the
first time since the very first nuclear device was exploded in the early
hours of 16 July 1945 near Socorro in New Mexico, nuclear weapons became
illegal under international law! The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons (TPNW) – the “Ban Treaty” – entered into force today, three
years after being negotiated at the UN General Assembly (when it was backed
by 122 nations) and 90 days after the 50th country joined the Treaty on 24
October 2020.
