This week we have something to celebrate, ahead of the formal ceremony awarding the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize to ICAN – the International Campaign to Nuclear Weapons – for its work in bringing about the adoption of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Many cheers from us, especially as Rebecca Johnson, a London Woman in Black , is co-chair and one of the founders of ICAN and very much part of this great success.
Now we have to make sure our own government signs up to the Treaty, and get rid of the UK’s nuclear weapons !
