Torchlight Procession for Peace
Edinburgh
A torchlight procession from The Scottish Parliament to Queen Elizabeth House to mark the Nobel celebrations in Oslo and reaffirm Scotland’s commitment to nuclear disarmament.
This year the Nobel Peace Prize was won by Nihon Hidankyo, the Japanese Confederation of A- and H- Bomb Sufferers Organizations. Their tireless advocacy for nuclear disarmament, rooted in the lived experiences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, resonates deeply with the movement that earned ICAN the same honor in 2017. This award is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for a world free of nuclear weapons and it reinforces the connections between global and local efforts for peace.
This event celebrates Scotland’s ongoing dedication to peace and builds on past actions for nuclear disarmament, including carrying the ICAN Nobel Peace Prize torch, given to ICAN by Nicola Sturgeon. We welcome participation from all, especially members of Protest Harmony, campaigners who attended ICAN’s Nobel celebrations in Oslo, and participants from the 2022 ICAN Forum. Together, we can amplify our message of peace during this festive season!

'Strategic Stability and Conventional Strikes’.
Online
With the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) set to expire on Feb 5 2026, strategic weapons issues loom over relations between the major powers. Against this context, our webinar will discuss a new report, ‘Masters of the Air: Strategic Stability and conventional strikes’. The report considers how U.S. precision weapons threaten strategic stability by creating survival risks for Russian and Chinese strategic deterrent systems.
The report’s authors Dan Plesch and Manuel Galileo will outline their findings and answer your questions.
To join this webinar, on 12 December, 17.30 (UK time), register via Zoom here:
