Statement on Munich Security Conference from ICAN

"Unpredictability is the theme we are hearing at the Munich Security Conference and a lack of leadership on nuclear weapons is a recipe for disaster. The only policy that increases security is the prohibition and elimination of nuclear weapons."

- Beatrice Fihn, Executive Director of ICAN

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a coalition of more than 400 non-governmental organisations in 95 countries. We are calling on governments to launch negotiations on a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons, which would place them on the same legal footing as chemical and biological weapons and help pave the way to their complete elimination.
