Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) is an international agreement aimed at eliminating nuclear weapons globally. Adopted in 2017, it prohibits countries from developing, testing, producing, stockpiling, using, or threatening to use nuclear arms. The treaty seeks to create a world free of nuclear weapons and to establish legal norms against their existence. While major nuclear-armed states have not joined, it represents a significant step in global disarmament efforts, reflecting the growing international consensus on the dangers posed by nuclear arms and the need for their complete abolition.
