Kurzbeschreibung
(Deutsch)
Probably the biggest barrier to making progress on nuclear disarmament and in preventing nuclear proliferation is the continued role of nuclear deterrence in security thinking and doctrines. As long as States believe that nuclear deterrence can protect them from aggression, they will resist or block efforts and initiatives for nuclear disarmament – even if they accept legal obligations or make political commitments otherwise.Thus, this second edition of the Nuclear Abolition Forum is dedicated to an examination of nuclear deterrence – the role it plays in security policies, its benefits and/or risks, and an exploration on how security could be achieved without nuclear deterrence in order to facilitate the establishment of a nuclear weapons-free world. On May 9, 2012, on the occasion of the First Preparatory Committee for the 2015 Review Conference of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the Nuclear Abolition Forum organized in Vienna an event entitled “Beyond Nuclear Deterrence to a Nuclear Weapons Free World”. The event yielded a rich and constructive discussion. This second edition of the Nuclear Abolition Forum picks up where the dynamic discussions of the event had to leave off. Several of the speakers have contributed articles to this edition.States Parties to the 2010 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference (NPT Review Conference) agreed that “All States need to make special efforts to establish the necessary framework to achieve and maintain a world without nuclear weapons,” and noted in this context “the Five-Point Proposal for Nuclear Disarmament of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, which proposes inter alia the consideration of negotiations on a nuclear weapons convention or a framework of separate mutually reinforcing instruments backed by a strong system of verification.”As such, States have collectively recognized that a focus solely on the next non-proliferation and disarmament steps is no longer sufficient or able to succeed. A comprehensive approach to nuclear disarmament must be developed.This edition aims to provide a variety of perspectives, reflecting the different country- and region-specific applications of the deterrence doctrine, bringing together diverging views on the validity, sustainability and effectiveness of the doctrine, and including contributors from different backgrounds (political, academic, etc.).
