AJIL Webinar: The Law and Politics of Nuclear Weapons

The threat of nuclear war appears to be growing. Iran’s enhanced nuclear capacities, escalating hostilities in the Middle East, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, threats by various countries to resume nuclear testing, developments on the Korean Peninsula and a host of other events have led some to argue that the threat is greater today than at any time since the end of World War II. This webinar from the American Journal of International Law explores the global security architecture and shifting geopolitics to identify if and why the risk of nuclear conflict has increased. It also evaluates the role of international law in reducing that risk. International law imposes a wide variety of constraints on the production, testing, and use of nuclear weapons, through the laws of war, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, various disarmament treaties, and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The discussion probes the effectiveness of these instruments, the questions of international law that remain unresolved by them, and the trajectory of nuclear disarmament in light of changes to the global international order. The panellists are Anna Hood (University of Auckland, Waipapa Taumata Rau, Faculty of Law), Ankit Panda (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Stanton Senior Fellow, Nuclear Policy Program) and Nina Tannenwald (Brown University, Senior Lecturer, Department of Political Science). The conversation is moderated by Monica Hakimi (Co-Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of International Law). Find the journal at https://www.cambridge.org/core/journa...
