Guess who abstained or voted no? Only the nuclear armed states. The rest of the world is clearly saying yes to nuclear justice! Bravo to 🇰🇮 @KiribatiGov and 🇰🇿 @DisarmKaz for their efforts!
A victory for #NuclearJustice a third year in a row. 167 states voted to help victims of nuclear weapons testing and use. Five states abstained. 4 (DPRK 🇰🇵 France 🇫🇷 Russia 🇷🇺 UK 🇬🇧) voted no.

We are deeply saddened by the killing of five Sudanese Red Crescent Society volunteers in Bara, North Kordofan. Humanitarian workers must never be a target. Our hearts are with their families, colleagues, and all those they served with compassion and courage. @SRCS_SD

Preparing for war by abandoning treaties that provide for a minimum of humanity is the wrong choice. And where would it end? With the Geneva Conventions themselves? A strong call from the ICRC at the First Committee of #UNGA80

Honored to share today's @ICRC statement to the #UNGA First Committee. The human cost of #conflits is appalling, but #Disarmament is an effective tool to prevent war & mitigate their impact. States need to redouble their efforts to protect civilians. #IHL
