On 22 January, we’ll mark five years since nuclear weapons officially
became illegal under international law. That’s not symbolic — it’s
transformative. ICAN and partners around the world will commemorate the
moment that nuclear weapons finally became illegal. With celebrations,
seminars, screenings, actions and activism across the globe. This
anniversary is a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come — and to build
momentum for the work ahead. The ban treaty has changed the global
conversation. Now we’re making sure it changes reality.
