An Australian-born campaign to abolish nuclear weapons has won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. Warning of the risk of nuclear war, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the prize to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, or ICAN . Campaigners say they hope the prize encourages the Australian government, and nuclear-armed states, to adopt the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
