Last week, SIPRI’s @MathewG1307 was in Lucknow, India, to participate in a panel at the 26th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World (#ICCJW), on the theme 'Global Governance for a Sustainable Future in a Fractured World’. The conference was attended by 160 Chief Justices and legal experts from 52 countries. Dr George discussed SIPRI’s work to tackle mis/disinformation, including its work with the SIPRI databases.
