9-10 Mars 2023 i Oslo: ICAN Act On It Forum

English text from ICAN Norway

Norges Fredsråd / The Norwegian Peace Council er partner til ICAN og medlem av ICAN Norges råd


Noen av Norges og verdens fremste pådrivere for kjernefysisk nedrustning møtes i Norge 9. og 10. mars på Sentralen i Oslo, i forbindelse med konferansen ICAN Act On It Forum.

10 år har gått siden Norge var vert for den første konferansen om de humanitære konsekvensene av atomvåpen. 24. oktober 2020 ratifiserte det 50. landet FNs atomvåpenforbud (TPNW), og atomvåpen ble forbudt 22. januar 2021.

Men hvordan kan vi skape den politiske viljen nødvendig for å igjen få fortgang på nedrustningsarbeidet?

Bli med på konferanse da vel!

Praktisk informasjon

Konferansen skjer på Sentralen i Oslo (google maps link), i Norge 9 og 10. mars.

Billetter kan kjøpes her.

The global movement against nuclear weapons is stronger than ever. States, cities, parliamentarians, civil society, survivors and people everywhere are being heard: nuclear weapons must be eliminated!

Nuclear weapons are the most destructive, inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created, for which there is no humanitarian response. The unacceptable risk demands that we take action.

But some refuse to listen. Nuclear-weapon-complicit states are doing little to support the disarmament movement. This must change.

Nuclear-weapon-complicit states are those which may not have their own nuclear weapons, but are enablers of the status quo by pretending to be in favour of nuclear disarmament while also actively supporting nuclear weapons in their national security policies.

At the ICAN Act On It Forum, we will focus on these states and how to get them to join global movement to end nuclear weapons.

All states must join the majority and act on their responsibility to create a world without nuclear weapons. It’s time to Act On It!

About the forum

Ten years ago, Norway hosted the first conference on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons. It became obvious that these weapons should never again be used.

The UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) adopted by 122 states in 2017 solidified what has been established for decades: nuclear weapons are inhumane and unacceptable! The TPNW is the result of a world majority saying NO to nuclear weapons.

Now it is time for nuclear-weapon-complicit states to join the majority and act on their responsibility to create a world without nuclear weapons.

We meet in Oslo to apply the lessons of states, civil society, activists, survivors and others working to abolish nuclear weapons. Together we will increase the pressure on nuclear weapon complicit states. During the conference you will get the opportunity to learn, share and discuss strategies and skills for how to make these states dissociate from nuclear weapons.

Join us in Oslo to echo the voices of the many demanding the end of these unlawful and inhumane weapons.

Practical information

The forum will be held at Sentralen in Oslo, Norway on the 9th and 10th of March 2023.
