国际废除核武器运动获得年诺贝尔和平奖  

The 2017 Nobel peace prize has been awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
The Nobel mittee said ICAN had been awarded the prize “for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its groundbreaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons”.
The US and most of the other nuclear powers have opposed such a treaty.
美国和其他绝大多数拥有核武器的国家都反对此类条约。
Nikki Haley
US ambassador to the UN
said in March this year: “There is nothing I want more for my family than a world with no nuclear weapons. But we have to be realistic. Is there anyone who thinks that North Korea would ban nuclear weapons?”
