Colonialism Goes Nuclear

Beatrice Fihn is the Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)

Beatrice Fihn is not playing. She has a Law degree from the University of London and a Bachelors in International Relations from Stockholm University. She also has a Nobel Peace Prize, accepted in her role as Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

According to her website Fihn has spent more than a decade working in disarmament diplomacy and civil society mobilization, but what that means in plain language is communication. She reminds us of the terrible toll nuclear weapons would cost if they were launched against civilians again, and how colonizer nations use the threat of all-out destruction to maintain the white supremacist balance of power.

Black Diplomats host Terrell J Starr has studied and reported on nuclear weapons throughout his career, so he is well positioned for a deep and timely conversation with an expert in the field. But Starr makes sure to keep the technical details light and stress the importance of this issue to each and every one of us, in ways we can all understand.
