International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms
IALANA works to prevent nuclear war, abolish nuclear weapons, strengthen international law and encourage the peaceful resolution of international conflicts. LCNP serves as the UN Office of IALANA and is a US affiliate. A second US affiliate is Western States Legal Foundation, Oakland, California.


Abolition 2000
Co-founded by LCNP in 1995, Abolition 2000 is a network of more than 2000 groups and municipalities in more than 90 countries working toward a global treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons, a nuclear weapons convention.


Global Action to Prevent War
Global Action to Prevent War (GAPW) is a network of academics, policy analysts, and civil society groups worldwide dedicated to removing institutional and ideological impediments to ending war-related violence and severe human rights violations. It promotes a phased program of global disarmament, enhanced human rights and peacekeeping capabilities within the UN and other transnational organizations, women’s leadership in peace and security policy, and a culture of peace.


LAW not War
LAW not War is a new global campaign to enhance the jurisdiction and use of the International Court of Justice in order to assist countries in resolving international disputes peacefully rather than through recourse to the threat or use of force. The campaign is led by three organizations: Citizens for Global Solutions, the World Federalist Movement-Institute for Global Policy and the World Future Council, and supported by many civil society organizations globally. 


Mayors for Peace
Mayors for Peace is an international association of mayors, headed by the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that campaigns for the global elimination of nuclear weapons. More than 5,000 cities in more than 150 countries and regions are members, including more than 150 US cities. With support from the Ford Foundation, LCNP joined with the North American coordinator of Mayors for Peace, Jacqueline Cabasso, to organize conferences on peace, environment, and cities in Des Moines and Madison in 2008 and 2009, among other activities.

Middle Powers Initiative
Through the Middle Powers Initiative (MPI), five non-governmental organizations work primarily through middle power governments to encourage and educate the nuclear weapons states to take immediate practical steps that reduce nuclear dangers and to commence negotiations to eliminate nuclear weapons. LCNP is one of the co-sponsoring organizations, and is a major contributor to the work of MPI, helping plan events and preparing briefing papers.

Hague Appeal for Peace
LCNP and IALANA, with other organizations, initiated the Hague Appeal for Peace in 1999, a global call to enter the 21st Century with a firm program for the abolition of war. The Global Campaign for Peace Education was created by the Hague Appeal for Peace and is now hosted by the National Peace Academy. The campaign aims to build public awareness and political support for the introduction of peace education in schools throughout the world and to promote the education of all teachers to teach for peace. Resources from the Hague Appeal for Peace include International Law and Peace: A Peace Lesson, Peace Lessons from Around the World, Peace and Disarmament Education, Time to Abolish War: Youth Manual created by Youth for Youth, and Learning to Abolish War: Book One & Book Two.
