The panelists discuss whether/how the war will be an incentive for
a further spread of nuclear weapons and how it will affect
international efforts to contain this spread, in particular the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and its associated
instruments. Prof. em. Dr. Harald Müller was Director of the
Leibniz Peace Research Institute Frankfurt from 1996 to 2015 and
taught International Relations at the Goethe University
Frankfurt/M. Among other things, he acted as disarmament advisor to
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and as a member of the German
delegation to the 1995-2015 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review
Conferences. Associate Professor Michal Onderco's main research
interest is in international relations, particularly the study of
international security, international institutions and Global
South. In his research, he studies the roots of state action,
exploring how commerce, norms and geopolitics inform foreign
policy-making. Moderator: Prof. Martin Senn ---- Music by Lost
