Structure and people
ICAN is a broad, inclusive campaign, informed by the need, urgency and feasibility of abolishing nuclear weapons, and focused on mobilizing civil society around the specific objective of negotiating a global nuclear weapons abolition treaty. The ICAN international structure consists of Partner Organizations, an International Steering Group and an International Staff Team.
