Swedish lawyer and nuclear disarmament advocate Beatrice Fihn will reflect on her Nobel Peace Prize winning work toward the 2017 adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. As Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Fihn led the mobilization of civil society, diplomats, scientists, and legal experts in support of the treaty. In her lecture, Fihn will speak on the ongoing threats posed by nuclear weapons, and on the power of movement-based advocacy to fight them.
