Hon PHIL TWYFORD: Nine of the 69 States parties to the TPNW are Pacific States and few parts of the world are more familiar with the devastating consequences of nuclear weapons than the Pacific. Decades after more than 300 nuclear detonations by the US, the UK, and France, the legacy of these continues to be felt with environmental damage and multigenerational health effects from radiation exposure. The Pacific recognises that it is not enough just to ban the bomb; we need justice for those who have felt the brunt of it. The TPNW recognises this too, and it will make an important contribution to addressing that legacy.
