Making the NPT Work for Global Security

Acronym Institute — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 11:43:57 +0000

This briefing titled Making the NPT Work for Global Security, is aimed at participants in the lead-up to the 2026 NPT Review Conference. It highlights the dangers of misconceived deterrence beliefs that are leading some nuclear-armed leaders and allies to carry out dangerous nuclear escalations that increase the probability that nuclear weapons will be used. The briefing promotes 16 key steps that NPT and non-NPT governments need to prioritise to pull humanity back from the brink of nuclear war that we face from mad leaders and computer and human mistakes and miscalculations.

AIDD working paper on Practical Steps to prevent nuclear use, published by the UN as TPNW/MSP/2023/NGO/13

Acronym Institute — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 20:33:06 +0000

This working paper from AIDD on ‘Preventing Nuclear Use and Dangers: Practical Steps to take forward Implementation of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons’ gives a brief description of steps that need to be taken by nuclear-armed governments. This was published in November 2023 by the UN Office of Disarmament Affairs as TPNW/MSP/2023/NGO/13. The aim was to engage TPNW States Parties and civil society from as many organisations and grassroots activists to focus on practical, achievable steps to prevent nuclear war and make the intentional, inadvertent or mistaken launching of nuclear weapons much more difficult to carry out, including de-alerting and government-government confidence-building measures, and progressive reductions in types and numbers of nuclear weapons in arsenals.
