Understorey: Treaty banning nuclear weapons now ratified

Nuclear weapons are being banned by the international community, consigned to the same place in international humanitarian law as other weapons of mass destruction.  On United Nations Day, October 24^th, Sunday our time, Honduras became the 50th country to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, meaning that the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will enter into force on 22 January 2021.   What is Australia’s next step?  Understorey speaks to Gem Romuld, from the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons; City of Fremantle (on the Executive of Mayors for Peace) Mayor Dr Brad Pettitt; and Josh Wilson, Federal Member for Fremantle, about this historic environmental and humanitarian breakthrough.
