South Africa recently ratified the Global Nuclear Ban treaty, making them the first country to have had nukes, disarmed, and joined the ban. Lovely to see Quakers in Bradford showing a bit of solidarity after their Meeting yesterday! @nuclearban pic.twitter.com/wGo1tUagTF

Great meeting with Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina on the margins of #MSC2019. She told me she’d make sure Bangladesh ratified the #TPNW soon. pic.twitter.com/VmfFHiz813

Congratulations Saint Lucia! 🇱🇨They become the 20th country to ratify the UN's #NuclearBan treaty! Every country that signs and ratifies the ban inspires citizens in the nuclear states to demand that their governments get rid of nuclear weapons. pic.twitter.com/nDQbl9CFbh

Congratulations Renfrewshire!

Renfrewshire Council has passed a resolution in support of the #NuclearBan treaty. It follows shortly after Manchester became the first city in Europe to support the treaty.

We look forward to many more towns coming out in support of the ban. pic.twitter.com/jIx6eDI6Iv

Congratulations Switzerland!

Both houses of parliament have now voted to support the #NuclearBan. This is the kind of leadership on nuclear disarmament we need to see in these dangerous times. pic.twitter.com/BdAJ9P3BVd
