As last year, IPB will be present also this year at the Second Session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2026 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, which will be held in Geneva from 22 July to 2 August 2024.
Sum-up Details:
- Nuclear Weapons Free Zones as the Missing Piece for Nuclear Disarmament
- Monday 22 July at 13.15 – 14.45
- Summary: Nuclear Weapons Free Zones already exist in many parts of the world, although legal guarantees to them differ greatly. Single state NWFZs have not been acknowledged as a part of this system but play a strong role in strengthening the NWFZ regime and the push for nuclear abolition. We will discuss how to make NWFZs stronger and more resilient as well as how they complement the NPT and TPNW.
- Geopolitical Shifts and Nuclear Weapons: What the Changing World Order Means for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Abolition
- Tuesday, 23 July 13.15-14.45
- Summary: The world is moving away from the post-Cold War era to one of increasing multipolarity and potential fragmentation. These changes pose great risks but also unique opportunities for nuclear abolition – the increasing power of non-Western countries could lead to renewed interest in nuclear weapon proliferation, but could also provide the Global South, who have led the international movement for nuclear abolition, greater influence in peace and disarmament efforts. We will explore these possibilities and the role of civil society.
