Special Disarmament Course “Extremely Engaging and Successful”

4th January 2009

The Geneva School of Diplomacy and its official partner the United Nations mandated University for Peace jointly offered an exciting 16-hour graduate course entitled “Current Issues in Nuclear Disarmament and Arms Control” which explored contemporary opportunities, challenges, pathways, and obstacles to nuclear disarmament and arms control.
Dr. Fred Wehling, Senior Fellow of the United Nations-mandated University for Peace (UPEACE), Research Associate of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies and Monterey Terrorism Research and Education Program and Associate Professor in the Graduate School of International Policy Studies (GSIPS) at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California, USA facilitated the course with ambassadors, researchers, activists and students in attendance.

The course presented a framework for thinking about nonproliferation and disarmament, the current status of disarmament agreements and initiatives, nuclear forces and policies in the United States, Russia, and China, and military nuclear programs in the Middle East, Northeast Asia, and South Asia. The course culminated in a simulation of a track-two meeting on nuclear disarmament in which students, working in teams, will draft and presented short position papers on nuclear disarmament reflecting the policies and interests of specific countries.

The University for Peace (UPEACE) was created by UN General Assembly Resolution in 1980 to “provide humanity with an international institution of higher education for peace with the aim of promoting among all human beings a spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful coexistence, to stimulate cooperation among peoples and to help lessen obstacles and threats to world peace and progress”.
