SUMMARY:Common security\, nuclear risks and the OSCE in the wake of the Ukraine conflict
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yqRRAyjZR8KLbjkYmMi7Xw \nThe Russian invasion of Ukraine is impacting significantly on the European security framework. The European Union has facilitated a sweeping package of economic sanctions against Russia\, unlike anything undertaken by the EU in any previous conflict. The invasion has elevated the risks of nuclear war\, and stimulated Sweden and Finland to abandon their historical neutral status and apply to join NATO – a nuclear alliance.In light of Russia’s violation of the UN Charter and security arrangements such as the Budapest Memorandum and Minsk agreements\, it would be tempting to conclude that common security frameworks such as the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) are becoming irrelevant to address security concerns. However\, this event will highlight the opposite – that it is in times of such conflict and high tension that common security approaches and other mechanisms for diplomacy and nuclear risk-reduction are vital and should be strengthened\, not abandoned. Common Security refers to building security between nations through international law\, diplomacy and conflict resolution. It is based on the notion that national security cannot be achieved or sustained by threatening or reducing the security of other nations\, but only by ensuring that the security of all nations is advanced.For more background see For Our Shared Future: Common Security 2022 Report\, Olof Palme International Centre. Also of relevance is the recent resolution of the U.S. Conference of Mayors Forging a Path to Peace and Common Security. \nCo-sponsors: Basel Peace Office\, Détente Now\, Initiatives pour le désarmement Nucléaire\, G100 (Group of 100 Women Leaders) Defence and Security Wing\, Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament\, World Future Council\, Youth Fusion \n__________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Disarmament\, Peace\, and Security\, please visit ngocdps.wordpress.com.
