Center for Comparative Politics and Political Theory and Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace(CNDP) jointly invite you

"New Evidences of the Unacceptable Consequences of Nuclear Weapons: Time for a Nuclear Ban Treaty",

Dr. Rebecca Johnson, Vice-President, CND(UK), Co-Chair ICAN
Mr. Akira Kawasaki, Peace Boat, JAPAN/ Co-Chair ICAN
Dr. Arun Mitra, Indian Doctors for Peace and Development,
Prof. Achin Vanaik, Founding Member, CNDP

In Chair: Prof. Kamal Mitra Chenoy, SIS/JNU.

Last month, more than 140 governments and civil society organisations from 90+ countries mobilised by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons(ICAN) assembled in Nayarit, Mexico for the Second Conference on the Humanitarian Consequences of Nuclear Weapons and called for the development of new international standards on nuclear weapons, including a legally binding instrument. Calling for this process to conclude by the 70th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Chair described Nayarit as “the point of no return”. The time has come, he noted, for a diplomatic process to reach this goal, within a specified timeframe, identifying the most appropriate forum and on the basis of a clear and substantive framework.

We cordially invite you to attend this discussion
