UNIDIR is delighted to announce that Disarmament Forum is celebrating its 10-year anniversary.
For the past decade Disarmament Forum has been an accessible and informative tool, offering
expert analysis and creative thinking to a broad audience. Each issue has brought together unique perspectives on topics as diverse as fissile materials and nuclear terrorism, and the role of civil society in disarmament issues.
This issue, “Ideas for Peace and Security”, departs from our traditional format to offer a collection of short, forward-looking contributions focusing on a single idea for building security, promoting disarmament or a more peaceful world. The experts participating in this issue are selected from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. Each one brings unique expertise and vision to this endeavour. While we acknowledge that there is no single solution to the range of security challenges facing humanity today, we firmly believe that creative ideas to address distinct security problems will be the building blocks of a more secure future for all humankind.
