Time to embrace nuclear prohibition goals

With the growing risk that the war in Ukraine could involve the use of nuclear weapons, Beyond Nuclear has signed a letter of support for H. Res. 77, introduced by US Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR). The resolution calls on the United States to embrace the goals and provisions of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and to adopt Back from the Brink policy prescriptions including: nuclear arms control and disarmament agreements with Russia, China and other nuclear armed states; renunciation of first use of nuclear weapons; cancelation of the US nuclear arsenal “upgrade”; and an end to sole authority of the US President to launch nuclear weapons.
