The First Malaysian Nobel Prize Winner

A global movement Dr Ronald McCoy co-founded in 2007 won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for its fight to ban nuclear weapons. In celebration of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, or ICAN, we thought we’d present you this encore interview. Dr McCoy explains what drove him to take up the issue of nuclear disarmament and his vision for a nuclear-free future.
