About this video

โ€œWe are pushing closer and closer to that point where [nuclear weapons are] eventually going to be used, and we have to drastically change,โ€ says Beatrice Fihn, the executive director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN.

โ€œIt is the nuclear-armed states, and it's the nuclear-allied states in NATO, for example, that really have to lead this charge,โ€ she says of the push for disarmament.

ICAN was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for spearheading the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Fihn says it is imperative for all countries to eliminate nuclear weapons, adding that the treaty is a โ€œway of creating a revolution in this nuclear structure that we createdโ€.

โ€œThe powerful have always lost their power when the majority has risen up and stood against it.โ€

On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill sits down with ICAN Executive Director Beatrice Fihn to discuss nuclear threats and the fight for global nuclear disarmament.
