As the complexity of WMD-related threats in the Middle East deepens and regional security dynamics grow more volatile, the need for bridging ideas and solutions becomes ever more pressing. Held in partnership with the Geneva Graduate Institute, UNIDIR hosted a hybrid event to present the latest research on non-proliferation trends in the Middle East, followed by a panel discussion.
