60 Years of the Nuclear Age
Nuclear Abolition – Prospects and Initiatives |
Six decades after the use of atomic weapons, the danger
of nuclear annihilation persists and the world faces a “cascade
of proliferation”, as recently pointed out by the
UN Secretary General’s High-level Panel on Threats,
Challenges and Change.
Drawing from their areas of expertise, the panelists will
reflect on the historical, legal and environmental implications
of the existence of these devastating weapons throughout
the last 60 years.
In 2005 two major events will draw the world’s attention
to the dangers of delaying the abolition of nuclear weapons:
in May, international leaders will converge in New York
for the Review Conference of the NPT, the cornerstone of
the non-proliferation regime; and in August, people around
the world will be paying their homage to the victims of
the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At this crucial
moment, the panelists will reflect on the prospects for
nuclear abolition and will examine the variety of initiatives
underway in this area.
