While this is the first posting on this
site for several months, readers should be aware of postings on an additional
site. The new site stems from collaboration
between UNIDIR and ILPI, the International Law and Policy Institute of Norway.
The joint UNIDIR/ILPI site - http://unidir.ilpi.org/ - is entitled
‘Effective Measures’. This is a
reference to the legally binding commitment under article VI of the NuclearNon-proliferation Treaty (NPT) that obliges all NPT parties to ‘pursue
negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the
nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament …’.
The new site, thus, concentrates on nuclear
disarmament. Its principal objective is
to offer analysis and thoughts on the development of the humanitarian
initiative on nuclear weapons.
To date there have been 5 postings on the
UNIDIR/ILPI site. They can be accessed as follows:
- Why so
surprised?
- Outrunning a
bear is a relative thing: US and UK participation in the Vienna conference
- Vienna Day 2:
The end of the beginning
- Vienna Day 1: A
rich and successful first day
- An ever clearer
message from civil society
UNIDIR’s Disarmament Insight blogsite will
continue in existence – comments, views, critiques continue to be welcome.
