Seminar: Update on Nuclear Disarmament

Since the negotiation of the Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty in July 2017 and its subsequent submission for signature in September of the same year, there have been several significant activities affecting the nuclear-disarmament process. In 2017, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, there was a high-level international conference in favor of nuclear disarmament at the instigation of Pope Francis at the Vatican and by the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the Trump Administration has published the Doctrinal Security Documents, in particular, the Nuclear Posture Review 2018. In May 2018 there should be a major international high-level conference on nuclear disarmament within the United Nations headquarters in New York.In the planned discussion, you will learn substantial information about all these activities.
