At the 2017 UN Conference to Negotiate a Legally Binding Instrument to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons, Leading Towards their Total Elimination, Jonathan Granoff explains his views about the immorality of nuclear weapons. He also cites the scientific, religious and realist perspectives on nuclear weapons. Finally, he urges delegates to include the following language in the preamble of the Ban Treaty: "Asserting that given their indiscriminate nature and potential to annihilate humanity, nuclear weapons are inherently immoral; Condemning the immorality of knowingly causing or threatening to cause irreparable environmental damage, devastating climactic change, or horrific suffering and death to countless non-combatants through the use of nuclear weapons."
