International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a global coalition focused on eliminating nuclear weapons to enhance peace and security. Founded in 2007, ICAN advocates for strong international treaties, such as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which aims to prohibit the development, testing, and use of nuclear arms. The campaign raises awareness about the dangers posed by nuclear weapons and mobilizes public and governmental support for disarmament. ICAN's efforts were recognized when it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017, highlighting the importance of its mission in promoting global safety and stability.
