The Collapse Of Nuclear Arms Control Puts The World In Peril

August 6, 2026 Lawrence S. Wittner, LA Progressive. , , ,
Although 81 years have passed since the atomic bombing of Japan in August 1945, the rulers of major nations continue their reckless march toward a nuclear holocaust. The nine nuclear powers (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea), possessing some 12,100 nuclear warheads, are all busily upgrading and expanding their nuclear weapons arsenals at an accelerating pace. Nuclear weapons spending rose to an all-time high of $119 billion in 2025?a 19 percent increase over the preceding year. The U.S. government alone, which accounted for more than half of this spending, is embarked on a $1.7 trillion, decades-long nuclear weapons buildup.

Groups Opposing Nuclear War Call On The United Nations To Act Urgently

On May 1, NWA Director Magritte Gordaneer, delivered a statement representing PSR and IPPNW at the 11th Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty at the United Nations in New York. Our statement calls on countries to recognize the unconscionable threat of nuclear weapons and urgently take action on disarmament in this moment of chaos, conflict, and nuclear escalation. PSR and IPPNW's recommendations to this Review Conference highlight the lack of progress made on nuclear abolition by nuclear weapons states, the humanitarian consequences of these weapons, and supports Article 6 of the NPT and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons as critical pieces of international law the United States and others must join and adhere to.
