The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons is a global grassroots movement for total nuclear disarmament through a legally binding and verifiable
Nuclear Weapons Convention. Such a treaty would ban the production, testing, use and possession of nuclear weapons, and establish a timeframe for their elimination.
ICAN was launched in 2007 as an initiative of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), a global federation of medical professionals. Today more than 200 organizations in 50 countries are part of ICAN and thousands of individuals have
signed their pledge for a nuclear-weapon-free world.
