Find out what can be done to counteract this trend:Parliamentary Briefing: House of Lords Debate on Rising nuclear risk, disarmament and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty This parliamentary briefing was issued in advance of the Debate on the report from the International Relations Committee ‘Rising nuclear risk, disarmament and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty’, Tuesday, 16th of July 2019. This is an opportunity to consider the ways in which the UK can reduce nuclear risks globally, and engage in meaningful multilateral disarmament processes ahead of the 2020 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference.July 16, 2019 Maxwell Downman2019-07-16T11:01:26+01:00Report: Reducing Nuclear Risks: European perspectives from the 2019 PrepCom This report arises from a roundtable on ‘Developing European Perspectives on Nuclear Risks’ on 7 May 2019, hosted at the Polish Mission to the UN in New York and under the sponsorship of the Dutch Foreign Ministry during the 2019 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Preparatory Committee.June 12, 2019 Maxwell Downman2019-06-12T15:13:19+01:00Report: Re-emerging Nuclear Risks in Europe The security environment in Europe has deteriorated in recent years, and nuclear risks have re-emerged as a prime concern for European governments.May 7, 2019 Maxwell Downman2019-05-07T21:52:54+01:00In a difficult international environment, the disarmament steps agreed at NPT review conferences seem increasingly blocked. The Stepping Stones approach suggests a pathway for unblocking disarmament: Stockholm Syndrome: Looking to escape the nuclear trap we re caught in Whilst the public debate over nuclear disarmament tends to deal in black and white, the reality is that the nuclear disarmament process to which every member of the international community is committed to inevitably involves a complex set of steps that can be taken unilaterally, bilaterally and multilaterally. And this process inevitably involves uncertainty and setback.June 20, 2019 Paul Ingram2019-06-20T09:26:36+01:00Swedish Foreign Minister hosts ministerial meeting for Stepping Stones approach On Tuesday, 11 June, Foreign Ministers from 15 countries meet in Stockholm to discuss how to make progress on nuclear disarmament.

But we can’t do it without you.“BASIC’s depth of knowledge and administrative competence makes it an excellent partner in the field of military nuclear capability and arms control”“At a time when transatlantic relationships are under tension, BASIC's role as a source of authoritative analysis is more important than ever.”“BASIC makes a vital contribution to sustaining recognition that nearly 30 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.”``For about thirty 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 LadytonVice 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.``Registered charity: 1001081 © 2018 BASIC. Designed by AesopStud.io
