A Nobel Peace Prize We Can All Live With

Here’s a Nobel Peace Prize we can all live with:

(Reuters) – “The Norwegian Nobel Committee, warning of a rising risk of nuclear war, awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday to a little-known [well, that depends upon the circles in which one circulates] international campaign group advocating for a ban on nuclear weapons. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) describes itself as a coalition of grassroots non-government groups in more than 100 nations. It began in Australia and was officially launched in Vienna in 2007.”

ICAN’s website is here (and be sure to ‘like’ their FB page).
For readers who may not know of this, my bibliography for nuclear weapons is here.
The important Arms Control Law blog is here.
And Atomic Reporters is an independent, non-profit, incorporated in Canada at the end of 2012, operating as an officially recognised international NGO from Austria, providing substantive and non-partisan information to journalists about nuclear science and technology.
