Peace Church, a pillar of community and society in the domain of faith and beliefs, proudly announces the meeting between Pax Christi USA and the Vatican embassy to commemorate the momentous one-year anniversary of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entering into force. This historical event highlights our collective commitment towards peace, disarmament, and fostering a harmonious world devoid of nuclear threats.

Understanding the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, also known as the TPNW, is an international agreement adopted by the United Nations on July 7, 2017. It categorically prohibits the development, testing, production, stockpiling, stationing, transfer, use, and threat of use of nuclear weapons. With the entry into force on January 22, 2021, the treaty symbolizes a significant step towards achieving a world free from the dangers posed by nuclear armament.

Why Is the TPNW Anniversary Celebration with the Vatican embassy Significant?

The Vatican, as a prominent religious institution, has long been an advocate for peace, justice, and disarmament. By joining hands with Pax Christi USA, an organization dedicated to promoting peace through nonviolence, this celebration aims to raise awareness about the importance of the TPNW within faith communities and beyond.

Promoting Peace and Disarmament

During the meeting, representatives from Pax Christi USA and the Vatican embassy will discuss the progress made in the first year since the TPNW's entry into force.
