ESU2022: On peace and disarmament in times of war
Channel: AttacD
Date: 2022-08-21

Each time major political powers are involved in wars the issue of global disarmament is back at the forefront of the debates. In the last decades, the Balkans, Iraq and now Ukraine are such moments. But whatever the context the issue of disarmament and peace is central for progressive alternatives. And activists are present where there are fora that discuss the issue, like the UN. With a direct line to New York, Tarja Cronberg, member of the Finnish government delegation to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Negotiations, will set the tone with a statement on progress and obstacles in nuclear disarmament. The panel will try to define the contribution of civil society to this process.
