The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) went into effect on January 22, 2021, for the nations that have ratified it.  Since then, more nations have ratified it.  By the date of its first anniversary of going into effect (January 22, 2022), 50 nations have ratified it.

For more information see the website of the excellent worldwide non-profit organization that has been promoting the Treaty.  Learn a lot from the website of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) at www.icanw.org
