* Endorse the Nuclear Abolition Day Appeal
We cordially invite you to endorse the Nuclear Abolition Day Appeal, if you have not already done so. The Appeal, which will be presented on May 1, 2026 to the Review Conference, calls on States to:
Affirm that the threat or use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible;
Undertake concrete measures to reduce nuclear risks, including standing down nuclear forces and adopting policies never to initiate a nuclear war;
Pledge to achieve the global elimination of nuclear weapons no later than 2045 (the UN’s centennial anniversary), and immediately commence multilateral negotiations to implement this pledge;
Cut nuclear weapons budgets, and end public and private investments in the nuclear weapons industry;
Redirect these funds to strengthen the United Nations, advance peacekeeping and conflict resolution, accelerate steps to protect the climate, and meet human and economic needs as required under Article 26 of the UN Charter.
The Appeal has already been endorsed by over 600 organizations and more than 1200 additional individuals from 99 countries, including Nobel Laureates, former high level officials (foreign ministers, UN Officials...), parliamentarians, local body representatives, other political leaders, academics/scientists, religious leaders, medical professionals, youth leaders, educators, business leaders, artists and other representatives of civil society. It was originally presented to the UN High Level Meeting on the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons on September 25, 2025.
