This new publication from Reaching Critical Will examines the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons, aiming to reframe the nuclear debate, and challenge the rhetoric of nuclear weapons states, by highlighting the reality of these weapons and what they would cause if used.  

The first chapter of Part 4, "International Humanitiarian Law," was authored by John Burroughs, J.D., Ph.D., Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy and a Fellow at The Simons Foundation.
