Bill > HR148

This Resolution formally endorses and adopts the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, a global agreement that aims to eliminate all nuclear weapons, and urges federal leaders and the nation to prioritize nuclear disarmament as the central element of United States national security policy. It calls for specific actions such as renouncing the first use of nuclear weapons, ending the President's sole authority to launch a nuclear attack, removing nuclear weapons from hair-trigger alert, canceling plans for new nuclear weapons, and actively pursuing a verifiable agreement for the elimination of nuclear arsenals by all nuclear-armed states, recognizing the catastrophic risks posed by these weapons, including the potential for global famine and extinction, and the historical near-misses that highlight the dangers of relying on luck to prevent nuclear war.
