The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a global campaign coalition working to mobilize people in all countries to inspire, persuade and pressure their governments to initiate and support negotiations for a treaty banning nuclear weapons. We call on states, international organizations, civil society organizations and other actors to:
Acknowledge that any use of nuclear wea
pons would cause catastrophic humanitarian and environmental harm. Acknowledge that there is a universal humanitarian imperative to ban nuclear weapons, even for states that do not possess them. Acknowledge that the nuclear-armed states have an obligation to eliminate their nuclear weapons completely. Take immediate action to support a multilateral process of negotiations for a treaty banning nuclear weapons.
