The citizens' initiative
Here in the Netherlands, PAX collected signatures from tens of thousands of people who wanted a national law making nuclear bombs illegal.
PAX also provided information leading to the majority of the Dutch parliament's decision to ask the government to remove the American nuclear weapons stationed here. Public opinion polls consistently show that no matter what party, what age, what background - Dutch people don't like nuclear weapons.

Nuclear weapon ban
And that's just in the Netherlands. Across the globe people are talking about the consequences of nuclear weapons and their governments are committing to get rid them once and for all.
In 2017, a comprehensive treaty banning all nuclear weapons was adopted at the United Nations. Many countries have already signed and ratified the treaty, and it will become international law on 22 January 2021.

Nobel Prize
The nuclear weapons ban treaty came about largely through the efforts of a group of campaigners called ICAN (The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons). ICAN received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for its work to remind the world about the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and toward creating this treaty.
The Nobel Prize Committee recognized the danger posed by nuclear weapons: "Nuclear weapons are a permanent threat to humanity and life on Earth."

Help us!
And now? What's next? The nuclear weapons treaty is here, but not all countries have signed it. 75 years after nuclear weapons were invented it's time to get every country, including the Netherlands on board.
One way to build that pressure is to get banks and pension funds to stop investing in nuclear weapon producers. PAX is working on this and a lot more, and we need your help! Your voice matters. With your support, we can bring the nuclear weapons ban treaty to life.
