Black text on cream and blue background that reads
5 Year Anniversary. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons Entered into Force.
On 22 January 2021, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the first multilateral treaty to categorically ban nuclear weapons, became international law, prohibiting their development, production, possession, use, and threat of use.
The Treaty also obliges States Parties to provide assistance for victims of nuclear weapons and for environmental remediation.
For the first time in history, nuclear weapons were placed in the same category as chemical and biological weapons: forbidden under international law
This treaty was born from decades of global civil society activism, a recognition that nuclear weapons are inherently immoral, pose catastrophic humanitarian risk, and must have no place in our world.
