International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a global coalition of non-governmental organizations focused on promoting the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. Founded in 2007, ICAN aims to raise awareness about the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and advocates for international treaties that prohibit their use and development.
In 2017, ICAN was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts in mobilizing public opinion and influencing governments to take action against nuclear armament. The campaign emphasizes the need for a world free of nuclear threats, promoting peace and security through disarmament and international cooperation.
