The Yearbook of Polar Law IV (2012): 87139 Thomas S. Axworthy* 1.Introduction Since nuclear weapons were first used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there has been a global movement seeking their elimination. The strength of this movement has waxed and waned, but the recent ratification of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) in 2010 by Russia and the United States has renewed global interest in working towards the total elimination of nuclear weapons. This broad-based global movement includes heads of state and government, international commissions, and civil society groups working towards this goal. Indeed, a recent poll of citizens of the Arctic Council member states commissioned by the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation shows a strong preference for the outright removal of nuclear weapons from the Arctic region.1 This desire for the creation of an Arctic Nuclear-Weapons-Free-Zone (ANWFZ) is the subject of this paper. President Barack Obama and former President Dmitry Medvedev have put nuclear arms control back on the international agenda. In his April 2009 speech in Prague, President Obama gave hope to humanity when he announced that his administration would work towards "a world without nuclear weapons".2 Both * Secretary-General of the InterAction
