CNS had a Q&A session after Ambassador Richards gave a commencement speech for the Spring graduating class of 2024.
Ambassador Shorna-Kay M. Richards spread a message of urgency to address a myriad of global problems but also one of hope.
Over five dozen senior diplomats gathered in Annecy, France on March 7-8, 2024 for an NPT diplomatic workshop hosted by CNS.
Dr. William Potter was appointed as Senior Fellow at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) in Geneva.
Death Dust explores the largely unknown history of the rise and demise of RW—sometimes portrayed as a “poor man’s nuclear weapon”—through a series of comparative case studies across the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Egypt, and Iraq.
This seminar focuses on the findings of the recently published book “Death Dust: The Rise, Decline and Future of Radiological Weapons Programs.”
Despite attempts to ban radiological weapons, challenges persist in achieving consensus, highlighting the necessity for global collaboration, legal restraints, nonproliferation commitments, and public education to deter their proliferation.
The event, which included a business session, brought together many CNS alumni, who currently work in various US government agencies.
When more than 100 delegations assembled this summer to review the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), expectations among most diplomats were low.
In keeping with its deep tradition, CNS was very visible at meetings of the Working Group for Further Strengthening the NPT Review Process and the 2023 NPT Preparatory Committee in Vienna.
