4/Goes without saying, the sincerity of US concerns about proliferation in the region are already in question given Washington’s refusal to even acknowledge the existence of Israel’s nuclear arsenal. As the Head of Policy at @nuclearban said:“This is a highly irresponsible deal."
Nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to humanity and the integration of AI makes that risk even higher. At the Nobel Laureate Assembly on AI and Nuclear War we speak out for the abolition of nuclear weapons through the #NuclearBan. Read more here: www.icanw.org/ai_and_nucle...

🧵1/ As @NATO meets, one fact remains: nuclear weapons do not make people safer. They increase the risk of catastrophic war and make everyone a target. Spain's PM @sanchezcastejon rightly said: "A system that requires zero mistakes... is not a guarantee. It is a gamble."
2/ Huge thank you to the Kingdom of Tonga for joining us on the right side of history. With its accession, the #NuclearBan Treaty now has 75 states parties and 25 further signatories, and more countries are expected to join soon.
1/ Remember when we were told a ban on nuclear weapons wouldn't happen? Because the nuclear-armed states would never allow it. Well today, the #NuclearBan which came into force just over 5 years ago, already has the support of a clear majority of states eligible to join it!
🎉🙌Another historic moment for the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons! Tonga has joined the treaty and there are now 100 states parties or signatories! Read more here: www.icanw.org/tonga_brings... #NuclearBan #Milestone
