Video: Humanitarian Impacts and the NPT: ‘One Year on from RevCon’

On Thursday 14th September, BASIC’s Emerging Voices Network (EVN) hosted a webinar event, on Humanitarian Impacts and the NPT: ‘One Year on from RevCon’, in collaboration with International Student Young Pugwash (ISYP) and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) Students. This event focused on the humanitarian impacts agenda within the context of the NPT process, and explored the range of current humanitarian impact concerns within today’s security context, reflecting on engagement with this issue during last year’s tenth NPT Review Conference and any developments since. This event also discussed possible obstacles and opportunities for the humanitarian impacts agenda within the new Review Cycle, and highlights the role and importance of early career professionals in furthering such work within the NPT.

“BASIC’s depth of knowledge and administrative competence makes it an excellent partner in the field of military nuclear capability and arms control”

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, GCMG British diplomat

“At a time when transatlantic relationships are under tension, BASIC's role as a source of authoritative analysis is more important than ever.”

Baron Rees of Ludlow Astronomer Royal

“BASIC makes a vital contribution to sustaining recognition that nearly 35 years after the end of the Cold War nuclear weapons continue to put at risk the future of humankind. BASIC is especially to be commended for doing this by fostering dialogue and understanding.”

Peter Jenkins CMG UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency 2001-06

``For about 35 years, in the pursuit of nuclear disarmament, BASIC have championed the cause of mutuality of security. Their ability to engage diversity of views and opinion has attracted deserved admiration.``

Baron Browne of Ladyton Vice Chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative and former UK Secretary of State for Defence

``For more than three decades, BASIC has challenged conventional thinking on national security matters, and inspired new ways of addressing and solving old problems. I expect it to continue to play this vital role for decades to come.``

Andreas Persbo Director, Open Nuclear Network
