An Intergenerational Approach to Advancing the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)
September 28, 2020 at 9:00 -11:00 am EDT
The majority of the world has acknowledged that these weapons are illegitimate under International Humanitarian Law, and therefore, they must be banned!
In 2017, at an UN conference chaired by Costa Rica, 122 states voted in favor of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). This treaty bans nuclear weapons. 45 states have ratified it, and only 5 more ratifications are needed for it to enter into force.
Now, it is time for us to unite! Join us for a virtual intergenerational event on the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty!
Speakers include:
Frances Collins, Deputy Director, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ireland;
Alicia Sanders-Zakre, Policy and Research Coordinator, The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), (Nobel Peace Prize 2017);
Anna Ikeda, Program Associate, Office of UN Affairs, Soka Gakkai International;
Susi Snyder, Nuclear Disarmament Programme Manager, PAX;
Kelvin Kibet, International Medical Student Representative, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War;
Professor Esther Yazzie-Lewis, Co-Author of The Navajo People and Uranium Mining, University of New Mexico;
Strong Buffalo, Executive Director and Indigenous Director, Oyate Hotanin (Voice of The People) and World Uranium Hearing;
Ronald Tatenda Magomo, Representative of the African Union Youth Front and the Southern Africa Youth Forum; and
Christian N. Ciobanu, NY & Youth Representative, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation (NAPF)

Peacebuilding Around Our World: Your Pathways To Peace!
Quote of the Day
"It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
About Pathways To Peace and the Culture of Peace Initiative
Incorporated in 1983, Pathways to Peace (PTP) is an international organization dedicated to making Peace a practical reality in our world today. PTP is an official Peace Messenger of the United Nations and has Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. PTP works locally and globally, inter-generationally and multi-culturally, to promote Peacebuilding, Peace education, and to collaborate with other organizations in initiatives that help further the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI).
With participants from around the world, the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) is a cooperative local-global Peacebuilding Initiative uniting the strengths of organizations, networks, projects and people to realize a Culture of Peace for the Common Good. The CPI also serves as a vehicle for bringing to light many previously unseen and unheard Peacebuilders working along diverse paths, who are embodying the emerging Culture of Peace within Humanity. The annual highlight of the Culture of Peace Initiative is the International Day of Peace, which provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and nations to work together, on a shared date, to create practical acts of Peace with a year-round impact.
About the International Day of Peace
An annual focus for PTP is the International Day of Peace (Peace Day), held annually on September 21st. Pathways To Peace has worked with the UN to observe and promote the International Day of Peace since its inception in 1981 and has grown International Day of Peace from a single event of a few hundred people into an annual global observance that now reaches hundreds of millions of people. The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. http://internationaldayofpeace.org
