1/ In these uncertain times, some argue that nuclear weapons are the answer to Europe’s security. The future of Europe will not be written in the shadow of mushroom clouds but by those who believe in dialogue, diplomacy and disarmament. #NuclearBan

1/ ICAN is gravely concerned by escalating hostilities between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, including last night’s missile strikes and nuclear threats. A nuclear exchange would be catastrophic for the world. Read our full statement here: icanw.org/ican_response_… #NuclearBan

The heightened situation between India and Pakistan puts the world at risk of nuclear war. Even more of a reason to engage our legislators in action to prevent it. See IPPNW's statement here: peaceandhealthblog.com/2025/05/07/int… #preventnuclearwar #nuclearweaponsabolition #docsspeakout

The World Health Assembly is set to decide on reinstating the WHO's mandate to tackle the health impacts of nuclear weapons and war. This should not be controversial. Yet, some nuclear-weapons states are lobbying against the resolution. Helen Clark reacts ⬇️

Congratulations on the strong leadership shown by Pacific Island Nations, led by Marshall Islands, Samoa, and Vanuatu, in reestablishing World Health Organization (WHO) mandate renewal of Effects of #NuclearWar on #PublicHealth studies at #WHA78. The truth shall set us free.

The truth shall set you free. Fortunately, 86 countries outvoted France and their NATO allies' "head in sand" approach at #WHA78, reauthorizing World Health Organization (WHO) study on Effects of #NuclearWar on #PublicHealth.
