To develop an effective and responsive global policy framework for addressing the humanitarian and environmental consequences of nuclear weapons, survivors and communities affected by nuclear weapons use and testing, and their perspectives and expertise on what is needed, must be included. Testimony from survivors was crucial to the global effort for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Articles 6 and 7 will require states joining the TPNW to provide assistance (such as medical and psychological support, and social and economic inclusion) to the victims of nuclear weapons use and testing, and to take measures towards remediating environments that are still affected (See Bolton & Minor and Docherty’s contributions in this Special Section for further details). Going forward, policy development on the implementation of Articles 6 and 7 of the TPNW should be guided by the priorities that affected communities identify.
