1/ 80 years ago at 11.02 am on August 9, JST, the US dropped the atomic bomb on #Nagasaki. In a flash, thousands were dead or injured. By the end of 1945, 74,000 had died. And the consequences from the radiation have affected the survivors to this day.

Moments ago, the third #NPTPrepCom failed to adopt any outcome, reflecting a horrifying lack of urgency in response to current risks.

Kyrgyzstan (which to date has abstained on resolutions relating to the TPNW) has today announced they will join the TPNW. 👏🏼🇰🇬👏🏼 #nuclearban
In today's general debate at the #NPTPrepCom, Kyrgyzstan announced that “has made the political decision to join to the TPNW” because they are “committed to ensuring that future generations live without the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction.” 👏🇰🇬

Today, @nuclearban.bsky.social had the honour to witness Nihon Hidankyo accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
Hibakusha have borne unimaginable pain to pursue peace. Without their stories and advocacy, the #nuclearban treaty wouldn't be a reality. I commit to carrying their legacy forward. #HoldtheMemory
