Hi Friend --
As many around the world begin their Christmas celebrations,
Peru has just given us all an early gift, by
becoming the 59th state party to the UN Treaty
on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons!
Last night, Peru submitted its instrument of ratification,
highlighting the country’s “high commitment to its obligations under
international human rights and humanitarian law”, to quote the Andean
state’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Our congratulations go out to Peru’s Cancillería, as well as
our Peruvian and Latin-American campaigners, particularly from SEHLAC,
involved in making this happen.
We are delighted to share this bit of holiday magic with you,
to fill us all with hope for all we can do next year for peace and for
a world free of nuclear weapons.
Kind regards,
Seth Shelden UN Liaison ICAN
It’s time to end nuclear
weapons.
