The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was established in July 2017 several months after the International Peace Bureau (IPB) Congress was conducted. This Treaty had been a benchmark and was considered a ground-breaking opportunity to attract attention on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. The IPB is proud that the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons received the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for its “efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons.” At a time of renewed nuclear tensions, such awards inspire people’s mobilization, which is more than welcome.

UNI Global Union’s General Secretary, Philip Jennings, delivered the Movement for the Abolition of War Remembrance Day Lecture at the Imperial War Museum on November 12th 2017. On a day when we remember the millions who died in the First World War and subsequent wars, Jennings called for renewed collective action to tackle the threats to peace. During the lecture, Jennings explored the ties that have bound the trade union movement to the peace movement over the last century or more and its relevance today to the struggle for social justice.
