SUMMARY:Fourteenth EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consultative Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The fourteenth Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium brought together experts\, practitioners\, and policymakers for two days of in-depth discussions hosted by the FRS on behalf of the EU. This year’s meeting focused on the most pressing challenges in arms control\, disarmament\, and non-proliferation\, beginning with high-level exchanges on missile defence and strategic risk reduction\, space security\, rising tensions in South Asia\, and the diversion and illicit trafficking of conventional weapons in Syria. \nThe second day expanded the conversation with sessions on global arms markets\, the militarisation of dual-use and uncontrolled items\, the proliferation and regulation of UAVs\, and the implications of emerging and disruptive technologies\, including quantum capabilities\, for international security. As in previous editions\, theoretical\, institutional\, political\, and industrial perspectives were combined to offer a comprehensive overview of evolving security dynamics\, with significant interaction from participants throughout the event. \nVideo\nSee below the conference highlights for key takeaways from each session: \n \nAgenda\n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n							Loading...\n						\n					\n					\n						\n							\n							Taking too long?\n						\n						\n								 Reload document							\n							|\n							\n								 Open in new tab							\n					\n				\n			\n		Download  \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n							Loading...\n						\n					\n					\n						\n							\n							Taking too long?\n						\n						\n								 Reload document							\n							|\n							\n								 Open in new tab							\n					\n				\n			\n		Download

SUMMARY:Thirteenth EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consultative Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The thirteenth consultative meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium was a research\, reflection\, and exchange event with two distinct parts. \nThe first part of our meeting was devoted to the impact of major current factors in the evolution of non-proliferation and disarmament issues: Russia’s aggressive foreign policy\, emerging and disruptive technologies\, the assertion of Chinese power\, and the multidimensional crisis affecting the Middle East region. The implementation and universalisation of the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel landmines will also be addressed. \nThe second part looked at general trends and specific updates: the global movement of arms transfers\, the fight against diversion (technical and political tools\, and the role of Industry)\, and the latest issues in the use of artificial intelligence in military matters. \nAs in previous years\, theoretical\, institutional\, political\, and industrial approaches were combined to provide the most useful responses to the new security challenges. To make our sessions as interactive as possible\, the Mentimeter tool was used in a very integrated way for each of the sessions. \nSeven interviews were conducted on the margins of the thirteenth Consultative Meeting. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n							Loading...\n						\n					\n					\n						\n							\n							Taking too long?\n						\n						\n								 Reload document							\n							|\n							\n								 Open in new tab							\n					\n				\n			\n		Download

SUMMARY:Twelfth Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium
DESCRIPTION:The 12th Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (EUNPD) Consortium was held on 12 and 15 June 2023. \nOrganised by the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (FRS)\, the meeting focused on the European angle of the current topics of debate: interests\nof the EU\, impacts of risks and threats on European security interests\, and common policies. In addition\, the Meeting focused on technical\, operational\, and strategic approaches to the questions posed\, trying to step back from the current debates to give them analytical depth. \nThe eleventh consultative meeting (the year before) was devoted to a review of multilateral control export regimes. The 15 June 2023 meeting extended this reflection by focusing on European actions in support of EU’s own policy goals as well as of the existing major multilateral treaties and mechanisms to fight against diversion and illicit trafficking of conventional weapons\, the control of transfer of dual-use and emerging goods and technologies against the backdrop of present security challenges\, and the current normative approaches to the technological debate on weaponisation of emerging technologies\, to\nidentify potential gaps in strategic trade control and ways to address them. \nThe participants were encouraged to draw conclusions to inform the upcoming review of Common Position 944/2008 defining common rules governing control of exports of military technology and equipment\, and present works of the Dual-Use Working Party. As far as non-proliferation and disarmament are concerned\, the12 June 2023 meeting focused on nuclear\, ballistic and space issues in relation to the current major technological and strategic challenges: hypervelocity and increasing conventional penetration capabilities\, dual systems\, integration of command-and-control systems\, multi-domain approaches. These challenges were explored in a few specific case studies: strategic instability in North-East Asia\, the Iranian nuclear and ballistic issue\, the dynamics of action-reaction in Asia-Pacific around the case of the AUKUS partnership. \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n							Loading...\n						\n					\n					\n						\n							\n							Taking too long?\n						\n						\n								 Reload document							\n							|\n							\n								 Open in new tab							\n					\n				\n			\n		Download

SUMMARY:Eleventh Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium
DESCRIPTION:The 11th Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (EUNPD) Consortium was held on 14 and 15 September 2022. \nOrganised by the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (FRS)\, the meeting focused on the topicality of multilateral export control regimes. \nA long-standing and important part of the global non-proliferation architecture\, multilateral export control regimes are informal groups of states that agree to coordinate their export control policies and practices for military and/or dual-use goods and technologies in order to prevent the associated proliferation risks. In addition to the four main existing regimes (the Australia Group\, the Missile Technology Control Regime\, the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies)\, specific European mechanisms have been added over time. Thus\, a EU regulation governs the export control regime of dual-use items. Additional restrictive measures (such as the sanctions imposed on Russia after the launch of its armed aggression against Ukraine\, for example) have been or may be added to these mechanisms\, whether voluntary or binding. All these measures play a direct role in the fight against proliferation\, but also in disseminating norms and involving industrial and scientific stakeholders in the global security architecture. \nThis eleventh Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium was devoted to a critical review of existing regimes. In particular\, addressed the question of their effectiveness\, the issue of inter-regime coordination\, the question of control of emerging technologies\, and the particular case of European policy\, including dual-use and the war in Ukraine. \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n							Loading...\n						\n					\n					\n						\n							\n							Taking too long?\n						\n						\n								 Reload document							\n							|\n							\n								 Open in new tab							\n					\n				\n			\n		Download

SUMMARY:Ninth EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consultative Meeting – virtual event
DESCRIPTION:10 September 2020 – 11 September 2020\nThe 9th consultative meeting of the EU Consortium on Non-Proliferation and Disarmament was held on 10 and 11 September 2020 in remote format. It was an opportunity to welcome the new Special Envoy on Disarmament and Non-proliferation and Head of the EEAS Disarmament Non-proliferation and Arms Export Control Division\, Ambassador Marjolijn van Deelen\, who focused her presentation on the challenge of multilateralism in arms control. \nThis year\, our consultative meeting also addressed in particular Arms control\, non-proliferation and disarmament challenges in the context of the global health crisis; the challenges facing the EU in the run-up to the 10th NPT Review Conference to be held in 2021; Artificial Intelligence in weapon systems\, the norm of non-use of chemical and biological weapons\, key developments in the global and European arms trade\, and attempted to elaborate a long-term view on non-proliferation and export control regimes. \nDespite the format constrained by sanitary conditions\, the meeting allowed more than 80 European participants representing States\, the EU\, and research centres of our Consortium network to discuss the thorny questions that the particularly tense strategic environment poses in terms of arms control and international security. \nYear after year\, changes in the technological context in which new weapons systems are emerging are increasingly at the heart of the reflections of our group\, with the aim of placing European action at the forefront of the new challenges facing arms control\, non-proliferation and disarmament. \nNoteworthy this year: for many participants\, the global sanitary crisis will probably have contributed to increasing the polarization in arms control and disarmament. \n \n10 September 2020\n15:15 – 15:30\nWelcome and introduction to the meeting\nAmb.

SUMMARY:Eighth EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consultative Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Eighth Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (EUNPD) Consortium was held in Brussels (Breydel building) on 11 and 12 June 2019. \nThis year’s debates addressed six current and future challenges: Missile proliferation and new tools and initiatives to fight against it\, the renewal of arms control thinking towards outer space\, the increasing nuclear and ballistic challenges in North East Asia\, including the nuclear crisis in the Korean peninsula since the Singapore summit in May 2018\, the future of strategic arms control and the role the EU in the future of security architecture in Europe\, new technologies and arms control\, including artificial intelligence\, and the study and definition of hybrid warfare and cyber risks. \nWhile the beginning of our century has been characterised by the deconstruction of a significant part of the arms control architecture developed in the post-Cold War years\, European countries find themselves in a paradoxical situation: The EU has become a global actor in non-proliferation and disarmament since the adoption of the 2003 Common Strategy; at the same time\, security within Europe’s borders has been attacked in such a way that today’s collective European security frameworks are fragile. \nIn this context\, this Eighth Consultative Meeting of the EUNPD Consortium was a privileged opportunity to collectively rethink what multilateral arms control can bring to European security interests. \n  \nFive interviews were conducted on the margins of the Eighth Consultative Meeting.\nWith :\n• Benjamin Hautecouverture\, Head\, Arms control and Technologies programme\, FRS\n• Jacek Bylica\, Principal Adviser and Special Envoy for Non-proliferation and Disarmament\, EEAS\n• Renata Dwan\, Director\, UNIDIR\n• Frank Meeussen\, Policy Officer\, Conventional arms export control\, EEAS\n• Névine Schepers\, Research Associate\, Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Policy programme\, IISS \nAgenda\nTuesday\, 11 June 2019\n14:45 – 15:15\nRegistration \n15:15 – 15:30\nWelcome and introduction to the meeting \n15:30 – 17:00\nDealing with missile proliferation: tools\, approaches\, initiatives \n17:00-18:30\nArms control in outer space \n19:15 Dinner \nWednesday\, 12 June 2019\n08:15 – 08:45\nRegistration \n08:45 – 10:45\nProliferation challenges in North East Asia \n10:45 – 11:00 Coffee break \n11:00 – 13:00\nThe future of strategic arms control \n13:00 – 14:00 Lunch \n14:00 – 16:00\nNew technologies and their implications for arms control (including LAWS and AI) \n16:00 – 16:15 Coffee break \n16:15 – 18:15\nHybrid warfare\, cyber risks and threats and arms control \n18:15 – 18:30\nConcluding remarks \n

DESCRIPTION:The Seventh Consultative Meeting of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC) was held in Brussels (Borschette Center) on 4 and 5 September 2018. ​ \nIt tackled the most pressing challenges in the Middle East (the US withdrawal from the JCPOA in May 2018) and in North East Asia (which “denuclearization” process for the DPRK after the June 2018 Singapore Summit?)\, the nuclear disarmament objective in a constraint strategic environment\, the UN Secretary general’s disarmament agenda\, the reinforcement of the chemical weapons prohibition norm after the 2017 crises\, and the EU strategy against illicit small arms and light weapons. \nIt cannot be denied that the present context is not auspicious to progress in the non-proliferation and disarmament realm: The global environment has seen many challenges to the normative order for several years (North Korea’s withdrawal from the NPT in 2003\, US and Russia’s strategic dialogue stalemate since 2014\, chemical weapons use in the Syrian conflict since 2013\, etc.); existing arms control and non-proliferation agreements are getting dangerously close to unravelling. \nIn such a context\, it was widely acknowledged by the hundred participants to the meeting that the EU has a special responsibility to uphold existing regimes in a coherent\, concerted and effective way\, pursuant to the principle of “effective multilateralism” which has been the cornerstone of the European Strategy against proliferation of weapons of mass destruction since 2003. \n  \n \n  \nAgenda\nTuesday\, 4 September 2018\n13:30 – 14:00\nRegistration \n14:00 – 14:15\nWelcome and introduction to the meeting\nBenjamin Hautecouverture\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\nJacek Bylica\, European External Action Service \n14:15 – 15:45\nThe revision of the EU Strategy against illicit SALW and their ammunition\nChair: Frank Meeussen\, European External Action Service \nSpeakers:\n– Damien Spleeters\, Conflict Armament Research\n– Fabio Marini\, DG Home \n15:45-16:00 Coffee break \n16:00 – 18:00\nThe chemical weapons non-use norm after the Special Conference of States Parties to the CWC\nChair: Christopher Daase\, Peace Research Institute Frankfurt \nSpeakers:\n– Elisande Nexon\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\n– Una Becker-Jakob\, Peace Research Institute Frankfurt\n– Dimitris Iliopoulos\, EEAS\, Former EU Liaison Officer to OPCW \n19:00 Dinner \n  \nCredit: FRS\n  \nWednesday\, 5 September 2018\n08:15 – 08:45\nRegistration \n08:45 – 10:45\nThe JCPOA after the US withdrawal\nChair: Stephan Klement\, European External Action Service Iran Task Force \nSpeakers:\n– Tytti Erastö\, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute\n– Louis de Gaulle\, Le Club des Juristes \n10:45 – 11:00 Coffee break \n11:00 – 13:00\nThe DPRK crisis after the Singapore summit\nChair: Laura Rockwood\, Vienna Center on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation \nSpeakers:\n– Mark Fitzpatrick\, International Institute for Strategic Studies\n– Tongfi Kim\, Vesalius College \n13:00 – 14:00 Lunch \n14:00 – 16:00\nNuclear disarmament\, the NPT review process and the TPNW: Prospects for the EU\nChair: Ettore Greco\, Istituto Affari Internazionali \nSpeakers:\n– Emmanuelle Maître\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\n– Bruno Hellendorff\, Egmont \n16:00 – 16:15 Coffee break \n16:15 – 17:45\nUNSG’s Disarmament agenda\nChair: Maria Mekri\, SaferGlobe \nSpeakers:\n– Renata Dwan\, United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research\n– Cristina Varriale\, Royal United Services Institute\n– Anne Kemppainen\, EUDEL Geneva \n17:45 – 18:00\nConcluding remarks\nBenjamin Hautecouverture\, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\nJacek Bylica\, European External Action Service
