The Pretoria Delegation of the ICRC was honoured to co-host this important event today with #DIRCO
In his capacity as the President of the First Review Conference of the Treaty on the Prohibition of #NuclearWeapons (TPNW), Ambassador @XolisaMabhongo convened a Stakeholders Engagement under the theme “Advancing the Imperative of Nuclear Disarmament: Broadening International Understanding of the Humanitarian Consequences of Nuclear Explosive Testing and Nuclear War.”
The #TPNW Stakeholders’ Engagement provided a platform for dialogue among government, regional and continental institutions, international organisations, scientific and academic experts and civil society to deepen understanding of the devastating humanitarian, health, environmental and socioeconomic consequences of nuclear explosive testing and nuclear war, while highlighting the enduring and intergenerational impact on affected communities.
Discussions also focused on the relationship between the TPNW, international humanitarian law and the broader international legal framework governing nuclear weapons.
Our appreciation to the International Committee of the Red Cross #ICRC for their support in hosting this important engagement. @ICRC_SAfrica @ICRC_Africa @SarahMabezaView quoted post on X
