The Guardian: Treaty to ban nuclear weapons made official with 50th UN signatory 

Production, use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons illegal from January 2021 though nuclear-armed states have not signed up 

An international treaty banning nuclear weapons has been ratified by a 50th country, the UN has said, allowing the historic though essentially symbolic text to enter into force after 90 days.

Honduras became the 50th country to ratify.
