Scottish disarmament campaigners are getting ready for the week of high-level and civil-society events to tackle the urgent threat of nuclear weapons at Nuclear Ban Week New York, 2025. Some will be reporting the events here and on their own websites and in the press, some will be submitting working papers and some will be attending the events, meeting others from around the wold and lobbying the government officials and diplomats. Bill Kidd MSP, Convenor of the Scottish Parliament Cross Party group on Nuclear Disarmament will participate in the Parliamentarians Conference taking place on Day One with global legislators who support the TPNW and there will be an ICAN Campaigner meeting at the iconic Riverside Church just before the third Meeting of States Parties to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (3MSP) starts.
