CND supporters celebrated in 2021 when the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entered into force. Now we need to campaign to get Britain involved with the agreement so it can take steps to join the global majority in support of a nuclear weapons-free world.

The states parties to the TPNW are meeting for the first time in Vienna between 21st-23rd June, 2022. As a non-signatory, the UK can attend as an observer, but it is refusing to do so.

Help us put pressure on the Foreign Secretary to commit to attending, like other NATO states Norway and Germany.

ACTION – DIGITAL TOOLKIT FOR ONLINE CAMPAIGNING

CND has produced this digital toolkit to help you campaign online. With graphics you can use on social media and actions to take, it has everything you need to join the campaign from home.

ACTION – CONTACT THE FOREIGN SECRETARY

The Foreign Secretary is responsible for making decisions on international treaties and should be the UK government’s representative at the conference.

Use our tool to write to Liz Truss, the Foreign Secretary, to call on the government to attend the event in Vienna.

CND has already presented a formal letter to the Foreign Office calling on the UK to attend.
