Given this week’s news about a conflict between Anthropic & Pentagon over using Claude in all kinds of military operations, this highlights how important it is to get a new treaty on autonomous weapons because we cannot rely on companies doing the right thing.

🧵4 years ago, on 24 February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For Ukrainians, this week marks the start of a fifth year of war – of loss, displacement and destruction that words can barely describe. Read more here: www.icanw.org/four_years_o...
#NuclearBan
CND is horrified that the Ukraine war continues into its fifth year. It is the most serious nuclear flashpoint in the world today. It is absolutely critical that this brought to an end. Instead of military escalation we need diplomacy and dialogue.

Graphic with image Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin facing each other and CND logo in the background. Text above reads: CND statement on the expriry of New START
Graphic with CND logo and page one of statement: The collapse of New START without a replacement represents a serious and dangerous step backwards for global arms control. To get this back on track, we need global public pressure to push for interim measures that could be agreed between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin today! This could involve a one-year moratorium on exceeding New START caps, the resumption of inspections, and a moratorium on deploying new Anti-Ballistic Missile systems like Trump’s Golden Dome. A new treaty is possible if pressure is put on these governments to come to an agreement, which will build momentum to further nuclear arms control agreements involving more nuclear powers.
Graphic with CND logo and page one of statement: As a nuclear-armed state, Britain has clear obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue disarmament in good faith. Rather than sitting on the sidelines, the government could show leadership and use its diplomatic influence to push for the US and Russia to extend New START. CND has written to David Riley UK Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament and our members are lobbying Yvette Cooper, Foreign Secretary, urging them to use their influence to secure the extension of the Treaty.
With the expiry of the New START treaty between Russia and the US, CND is calling on the British government to stop sitting on the sidelines and push for an extentson to the treaty ahead of a new arms control agreement.
