Dear Friend --

We’re excited to share the great news with you that, just moments ago, Indonesia, Sierra Leone and the Solomon Islands ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)!

Their actions come two days after the international community adopted the Pact for the Future, which included a commitment to advance the goal of the total elimination of nuclear weapons.

In these times of heightened nuclear risks, principled leadership for nuclear disarmament – as shown by Indonesia, Sierra Leone and the Solomon Islands today – is more crucial than ever.

Big thanks to our campaigners in all three countries, who have worked tirelessly for several years to raise public awareness about the treaty and bring all relevant stakeholders on board.

With your donation, ICAN can continue supporting the efforts of our partner organisations around the world to ensure that more countries join the TPNW in the months and years ahead.

This indispensable treaty now has 73 states parties and a further 25 signatories. Indonesia is the largest state party by population.

While some large countries have chosen the dangerous path of nuclear armament, Indonesia has instead embraced disarmament, as it understands that these horrifying weapons only create enmity, mistrust and insecurity.

Kind Regards,

Tim Wright, Seth Shelden and Celine Nahory
