As Trump Saber-Rattles, Most of World Vows to Push Total Nuke Ban in New Year

“Every nation has an interest in ensuring that nuclear weapons are never used again, which can only be guaranteed through their complete elimination. We are calling on all governments to join next year’s negotiations and work to achieve a strong and effective treaty,” said Beatrice Fihn, executive director of ICAN.

In a report released earlier this year, the Ploughshares Fund explained why nuclear weapons remain among the single largest threats to both humanity and the planet. “Nuclear weapons continue to be one of the most serious threats to international peace and security around the world. They are the most destructive, inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created. Both in the scale of the devastation they cause, and in their uniquely persistent and hazardous radioactive fallout, they are unlike any other weapons. A single nuclear bomb detonated over a large city could kill millions of people. The use of tens or hundreds of nuclear bombs would disrupt the Earth’s climate worldwide and cause widespread famine.”

Following public comments by Trump this week, nuclear weapons and the threat of proliferation broke into news headlines across the globe. ICAN argues that despite such careless rhetoric and behavior by world powers (by which they also meant recent statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin), the drive to ban the weapons will continue.
