I can imagine a world without nuclear weapons

ICAN's latest short video highlights that nuclear weapons abolition is both wanted and possible. It's not a "green" or "left" issue - it's simply one of survival and sanity.

Full description

The use of just 50 of today's 26,000 nuclear weapons would kill 200 million people according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. It would also pose a grave and most sudden climate change - nuclear winter. Banning the bomb is both necessary and possible.

The latest short video by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) highlights the growing cross section of people who join together in agreeing that nuclear abolition is both wanted and possible. This is further evidenced by recent polls showing most Russians, Americans, Canadians, French, British, Germans and Italians also want to live in a nuclear weapons-free world (www.icanw.org/polls).

As we congratulate the Australian Prime Minister's call for an International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament, ICAN will working to ensure that this remains visionary and effective in achieving a Nuclear Weapons Convention to outlaw the development, use and threat of use of such weapons of terror.
