Dear Friend --
“No country will ever just give up their
nuclear weapons”
“But deterrence protects us”
“The military-industrial complex is too
powerful, you can’t beat them.”
Chances are that you will have heard at
least one of these arguments while talking to people about nuclear
weapons and about the UN Treaty banning them. We know, because we hear
it all the time too.
It is important to push back against these
common misconceptions so that we don’t just accept the narrative that
nuclear weapons are here to stay. That’s why we decided to create a
small guide, packed with witty and concise answers to 11 common
questions and comments about nuclear weapons.

this guide
Print out a copy as a pocket-sized
guide, to have handy whenever these arguments come up in conversation.
ICAN will also be printing copies soon to give to our campaigners, so
they can use them for their events and meetings, upon
request.
We hope it will be as useful for you
as it is for us - and that you will share this resource with your
friends if you like it!
Thank you for all you
do,
