UNODA High Representative @INakamitsu regrets that States parties to the NPT were unable to agree on outcome document. It remains the cornerstone of our collective security architecture. States should make use of all available avenues for dialogue to eliminate the nuclear threat.

The Doomsday Clock moving ahead to 89 seconds to midnight is a stark reminder that we must act NOW. As @BulletinAtomic put it: “Every second of delay in reversing course increases the probability of global disaster.” But there is reason for hope, like the #NuclearBan Treaty. 🧵
Today, the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board sets the #DoomsdayClock at 89 seconds to midnight.
"The world depends on immediate action."

Enormous congratulations to Nihon Hidankyo for this very well deserved recognition of their tireless work to raise awareness of the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons and to call for their urgent elimination.

The U.S., China and Russia have not conducted full-scale nuclear tests since the 1990s. There are growing fears that this could soon change, writes @wjhenn, and a return to that earlier era is certain to have costly consequences. nyti.ms/3XrMVny
