With the expiration of New START, an era of bilateral arms control ends. An expanded nuclear arms race would severely undermine international security.

➡️Diplomacy, risk reduction, and arms control are essential.

➡️🇨🇭 continues these efforts, including at the 11th NPT RevCon.

🚨 NEW REPORT AND WEBINAR INVITATION:

Over the last year, the Swiss and German governments @SecurityPolCH @SwissMFA @GermanyDiplo kindly funded a study that my colleagues and I released today under the @VCDNP banner.

The report investigates the future of strategic and nuclear risk reduction and identifies areas that the P5 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇷🇺���🇳 in particular should be trying to find common ground on in the mid-to-long-term future. We hope that this substantial written contribution can feed into the P5 Process as well as wider NPT discussions on the risk reduction file in the years to come.

Below you can find a link to read the final report as well as to register for a webinar where we will discuss the findings next Friday February 28. We are thrilled to share that our esteemed colleague and friend Rose @Gottemoeller will join the conversation. We will also hold discussions on the paper at upcoming official Track 1 meetings in Geneva, New York, and more.
