In the news (TH):

“ICAN offered to pay for next week’s historic summit between the U.S. and North Korea, including Kim Jong-un’s bill. One of many reported logistical and protocol headaches surrounding the meet concerns the issue of payment for Mr. Kim’s stay at the five-star Fullerton Hotel.”

ICAN was awarded the Peace Prize (in 2017) “for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons”.
