Kiama Council is to become the 43rd Australian council to endorse the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) Cities Appeal, which calls on local governments to back its campaign to have their area ratify the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
Shoalhaven And Wollongong Council have already signed up after Jervis Bay was suggested as a base for nuclear submarines…. on Commonwealth Territory.
In 2017, ICAN was the first Australian organisation to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for its work in adopting the Treaty in the UN.
