07 Mar 2025 Hyun CHO, Jina KIM and Sang-Hyun LEE
Five international security experts discuss efforts to advance gender equality and expand leadership opportunities for women in the field, as well as the steps needed to accelerate progress.
Adil Sultan argues that all nuclear-armed states, including India and Pakistan, must conduct regular nuclear ‘fail-safe’ reviews to build confidence, reduce risks of miscalculation or accidents, and prevent escalation during crises.
Kazuko Ito argues that Japan, as the only country to have suffered from nuclear warfare, must take a leading role in preventing nuclear war and achieving a nuclear-free world by joining the TPNW, emphasising the growing need for global nuclear disarmament.
Enkhsaikhan Jargalsaikhan argues that Mongolia’s rich experience should serve as a tool to strengthen and further broaden the Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone regime.
