Nobel Prize Goes to International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
Over 135 countries agreed at the UN to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Two nuns, Carol Gilbert and Ardeth Platte, spoke here in Colorado recently about how young people worked very hard this year at the UN to form a coalition to produce a treaty to ban nuclear weapons. Once 50 countries have ratified the treaty, it will become law. Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Jody Williams, Ai Weiwei, Herbie Hancock, and Martin Sheen all support the treaty. Countries that have nuclear weapons refused to participate in drafting the language of the treaty. The nuns had earlier served sentences for pouring their blood on top of the cover of a nuclear armed missile silo in Colorado. http://www.icanw.org
