After researching the past and present situations surrounding nuclear weapons in the world (e.g., the Cuban Missile Crisis, Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), the Ukraine issue, etc.), please discuss with other participants why this situation persists.

Or does it also include a society free from “structural violence” — such as poverty, discrimination, and inequality — that limits people’s potential? In your view, what role does the abolition of nuclear weapons play in achieving such peace?
