ACHRE in collaboration with ICAN Australia has proposed a public HRE seminar on the implications for International Humanitarian Law, to be held at Parliament House in Melbourne.
Current status of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is that of 82 signatories and 50 states parties. Thus, the historic UN treaty banning nuclear weapons is set to enter into force in 90 days after being ratified by a 50th country— when Honduras, became the latest country to sign up to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons—a milestone that means it will become international law on 22 January, 2021. The United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is the first global treaty to ban nuclear weapons and all activities related to them. It makes nuclear weapons illegal alongside landmines, cluster munitions, chemical and biological weapons. The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament as well as general and complete disarmament.
