The treaty will come into force on 22 Januaryhaving reached the required signatory threshold after Honduras ratified it three weeks ago. Campaigners hope the treaty will have a gradual deterrent effect on the proliferation of nuclear armaments. Earlier international treaties on landmines and cluster munitions resulted in a change in behaviour even in countries that did not sign up.
We call on the UK government to do so, and thereby to give hope to all people of goodwill who seek a peaceful future. The UK had taken a stand to outlaw cluster bombs and landmines.
Cottrell, has a long track record of speaking out on the issue of nuclear weapons. For so many of the nations of the world to speak clearly of the need to ban these weapons of mass destruction is an encouraging and hopeful sign.

We commit ourselves to pray and to work so that this ratification Nuxlear indeed help to see an end to nuclear weapons in the future. We very much regret that the UK, together with other nuclear states, has not yet signed the accord.
We call on the UK government to do so and thereby to give hope to all people of goodwill who seek a peaceful future. Accordingly, we renew our support for the work of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, together with sister organisations and agencies in each nation, whose advocacy and commitment continues to make such a difference.
