The Nuclear Ban is Here – A Hopeful Sign for Nuclear Disarmament?
The Treaty on the Prevention of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) enters into force on 22 January 2021. This means for the first time since the invention of nuclear weapons, their use, threat of use, development, production, manufacture, acquisition, possession, stockpiling, transfer, stationing, or the installation of nuclear arms on a signatory’s territory by another country will become illegal under international law.
