REPORT: HISTORY IS CALLING (2024)
‘History is Calling’ is ICAN Australia’s new report setting out in detail the case for Australia to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Picking up from where Choosing Humanity (2019) left off, this report outlines Australia’s progress on implementation, the TPNW’s complementarity with other agreements, nuclear safeguards and disarmament architecture, enforcement, universalisation, victim assistance and environmental remediation, Australia and its alliances, and nuclear deterrence theory. It concludes that, as a nation that claims commitment to the international rules-based order, nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, it is both essential and inevitable that Australia signs and ratifies the ban treaty. →
RESOURCE: Australia: Disarmament, Arms Control and Nuclear Security Treaties (2024)
There is a proud bipartisan history of Australia joining disarmament, arms control, and nuclear security treaties. Australia has joined almost every applicable universal and regional arms control and disarmament agreement at this time, with the exception of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which opened for signature in New York on 20 Sep 2017. This new resource, Australia: Disarmament, Arms Control and Nuclear Security Treaties recounts Australia’s bipartisan history of leadership under both the Labor and Coalition governments, highlighting multiple examples of treaties that were signed by a Coalition government and ratified by a Labor government, and vice versa. →
