5 years ago, the #TPNW established a prohibition of #nuclearweapons due to their unacceptable humanitarian consequences + risks. Moving away from #nuclearweapons is today more urgent amid geopolitical tensions and even higher nuclear risks.

An honour to meet the new UNHCR, Barham Salih.
#UNHCR is a trusted partner in implementing #HumanitarianAid, addressing global refugee & displacement challenges. Supporting people in need as close to their home as possible is a humanitarian necessity — @unhcr.org’s work is key.

Glad to do this with the Mexican Presidency, a Country with which Austria has cooperated very closely on disarmament issues
5 years after the #TPNW entered into force, the following still holds true: nuclear weapons do not protect us, they endanger our existence. Credible steps towards nuclear disarmament are urgent. The #TPNW, co-initiated by AT, leads the way to a world without nuclear weapons.
