AJR 33

This bill is a resolution urging the United States federal government to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, a United Nations treaty that comprehensively bans nuclear weapons and calls for their elimination. The measure calls for nuclear disarmament to become the centerpiece of U.S. national security policy and for the nation to lead global efforts to prevent nuclear war. As a resolution, this is a formal expression of the legislative body's position rather than binding law, serving to pressure federal leaders to shift away from nuclear weapons policy toward complete disarmament and to join the international treaty framework that prohibits the development, testing, production, stockpiling, and use of nuclear weapons.
