Maintaining the Nuclear Peace

The greatest unacknowledged diplomatic achievement of the Cold War was the absence of the use of nuclear weapons. This achievement rested on the principles of the UN Charter, especially respect for the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of member states. Amidst the Cold War, world leaders came together to create a global regime to control nuclear arms, prevent nuclear warfare and work towards the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. Today, that nuclear peace is imperiled. Arms control needs to be revived and reimagined.

This event will feature Michael Krepon, Co-founder of the Stimson Center, a prolific author and the winner of a lifetime achievement award from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace for his work to reduce nuclear dangers. Convened by the Stimson Center and the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs, the event will feature a conversation between Michael Krepon and Dilan Ezgi Koç, UN Youth Champion for Disarmament.
