Nuclear weapons are the most inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created. They violate international law, cause severe environmental damage, undermine national and global security, and divert vast public resources away from meeting human needs. A universal ban is long overdue.
Three in four governments support negotiations for a treaty banning nuclear weapons, and opinion polls show overwhelming public support. A nuclear weapons ban is the centrepiece of the UN Secretary-General’s disarmament action plan and a top priority for the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement.
“There is no way you can use even one nuclear weapon without becoming a victim yourself.”
“I salute ICAN for working with such commitment and creativity in pursuit of a nuclear-weapon-free world.”
“We can do it together. With your help, our voice will be made still stronger. Imagine peace.”
“Governments say that a nuclear weapons ban is unlikely. Don’t believe it. They told us the same thing about a mine ban treaty.”
“I support the work of ICAN. In what sort of world do we want our young ones to grow up?”
“With your support, we can take ICAN its full distance – all the way to zero nuclear weapons.”
“Because I cannot tolerate these appalling weapons, I whole-heartedly support ICAN.”
“I am proud to support the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.”
“I can imagine a world without nuclear weapons, and I support ICAN.”
