🧵1/ #NPT state parties are in the final hours to adopt or not adopt an outcome document for the #10RevCon. Here is what you should know. 
2/ There are a number of issues that could cause states to break consensus in the final stages of the #NPTRevCon, including disagreements over AUKUS, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the Middle East, and more.
3/ What we know is that, whether they succeed or not, they’re failing -- we have seen the drafts on the table and it’s clear that, no matter what, they are not going to advance their disarmament obligations with the urgency the current security environment requires. #NPTRevCon
🧵1/ #NPTRevCon has started! Nuclear weapons are now prohibited under international law by the TPNW.
The #NPT should carry forward the success of the #TPNW1MSP and strongly condemn nuclear threats and advance nuclear disarmament. #nuclearban

2/ During the #TPNW1MSP, states parties issued the strongest multilateral statement ever against nuclear threats and adopted and began implementing a nuclear disarmament action. The #NPTRevCon should also adopt a concrete plan of action to reduce nuclear arsenals. #nuclearban
3/Currently all nuclear weapon states are in violation of their obligation to pursue nuclear disarmament under the NPT.They must return to compliance immediately ➡️icanw.org/10th_npt_revie… Joining the TPNW is one action they can take to implement their obligations under Article VI
🧵1/4 In Vienna, history was made 🎉🎉🎉 Here are three highlights from the outcomes of the #TPNW1MSP that explain why it's so revolutionary in its plan to end nuclear weapons. #nuclearban
2/4 Condemning nuclear threats: in response to Russia’s nuclear threats and the increasing dangers of nuclear war, states made clear in the Vienna Declaration that nuclear threats are never acceptable.
3/4 Specific to-dos: States agreed on a 50 point action plan to end nuclear weapons including everything from spreading the word on the #humanitarian harm of nuclear weapons, to assisting survivors of nuclear weapons use and testing and planning a trust fund for affected states.
Ok, so I’ve kind of recovered from the MSP party last night so here’s a few thoughts about the key #TPNW1MSP outcomes & what it really means
1). This is the strongest condemnation of nuclear threats that have ever been done by a UN conference and it is without a doubt a response to Russia's nuclear threat.
It is a powerful and urgently needed message from a large group of very diverse states. The clear and shape condemnation of nuclear threats is at the center of the Vienna Declaration because it’s a response to the Russian nuclear threats.
WE DID IT! #TPNW1MSP just adopted the Vienna Declaration & Action Plan - the strongest multilateral condemnation of nuclear threats and concrete steps on how states will end nuclear weapons through #nuclearban. More here:

1. No nuclear threats are ever acceptable. Participating states repeated this throughout the conference, and the adopted declaration made it clear: Call it blackmail or deterrence, it is illegal, immoral & dangerous. 2/11 #nuclearban
2. Eliminating nuclear weapons. States set a deadline of 10 years to eliminate nuclear weapons when nuclear-armed states join the TPNW and 90 days for the removal of weapons from host states when they join the Treaty. 3/11
So, the first conference of the states parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will conclude today in Vienna. After countless statements in support of eliminating nuclear weapons by those states that have ratified the Treaty .. #TPNW1MSP

.. and some more statements by observing NATO countries mostly in support of their commitments under the nuclear alliance, TPNW states parties are set to adopt a political declaration today as well as an action plan. 2/
I have seen both draft documents (😱). The draft political declaration has been negotiated over several weeks and contains 15 paragraphs. 3/
📢BREAKING
🧵1/ The German🇩🇪 Coalition government has just released its draft coalition government agreement in which it would commit to observing the first meeting of states parties of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. #nuclearban #ampel #koalitionsvertrag

2/By attending as observers, 🇩🇪 would be taking a first step in following the will of the German people. Recent polls say that the vast majority of voters across democratic parties (83%) support the TPNW and oppose acquisition of nuclear capable aircraft. #nuclearban
3/ This news follows last month’s decision by Norway🇳🇴 to participate at the first MSP and firmly indicates that there should be no conflict with the TPNW for Nato member states. More are sure to follow. #TPNW1MSP
