SUMMARY:Preparing for the 2015 NPT Review Conference
DESCRIPTION:International seminar\n© FRS Hosted by the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and supported by the European Union Co-organized by The Algerian Institut Diplomatique et des Relations Internationales and the EU Non-Proliferation Consortium/Fondation pour la recherche stratégique Sheraton Hotel\, Algiers\, 8-9 April 2015\nAn international seminar on “Preparing for the 2015 NPT Review Conference\,” (RevCon) co-organized by the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and the EU Non-Proliferation Consortium (EUNPC – Fondation pour la recherche stratégique\, Paris\, France)\, was held at the Sheraton hotel\, near Algiers (Algeria)\, on 8 and 9 April 2015. The event was supported by the EU. \nAbout 50 people attended the seminar: over 20 countries were represented\, many at the ambassadorial levels. The ONUDA and the IAEA were represented. The president of the 2015 Revcon was present\, along with the chairs of the three main committees of the Revcon. Five experts from the EUNPC and one nongovernmental expert from the Middle East gave presentations and/or moderated sessions. \nIt was recognized that the 2015 NPT RevCon would be difficult because of inadequate implementation of the 2010 action plan. Yet the interim deal between Iran and the E3+3/EU (the Lausanne agreement) was perceived as an opportunity to create a positive atmosphere because it strengthens the NPT and shows that nonproliferation tools work. The cornerstone of the EU non-proliferation strategy (“effective multilateralism”) was recalled and its approach to the 2015 Revcon was detailed. \nMost of the challenges facing the RevCon were developed during session I (“Challenges and opportunities for the 2015 NPT Review Conference”). Session II (“Achieving progress on nuclear disarmament\, including new approaches”) was marked by constructive propositions. It was stated that peaceful uses of nuclear energy (Session III) are crucial for social and economic development. Contribution of the Nuclear Weapon Free Zones to Non-Proliferation and Disarmament was detailed in Session IV. The success of the Nuclear Free Zones (NFZ) as a cross-cutting tool and issue for the NPT regime was recognized by the participants. Lastly\, session V dealt with various aspects concerning the reinforcement of the NPT Review Process: institutional\, procedural\, substantive. \nAgenda\nWednesday\, April 8th 2015\n\n\n\n9h00 – 9h45\nOpening Session\n\n\n\nStatement by Representative of Algeria\nStatement by Ambassador Jacek Bylica\, Special Envoy EEAS\, EU\nStatement by Representative of UN Office of Disarmament Affairs\n\n\n9h45 – 10h00\nCoffee break\n\n\n10h00-11h30\nSession I – Challenges and opportunities for the 2015 NPT Review Conference\n\n\n\nModerator: Representative of Algeria \nPanel:\nRepresentative of UK\nMr. Ayman Khalil\, Director\, ACSIS\, Jordan\nRepresentative of Algeria\n\n\n11h30 – 11h45\nCoffee break\n\n\n11h45 – 13h00\nSession II – Nuclear disarmament\n\n\n\nModerator: Bruno Tertrais\, Senior Research Fellow\, FRS\, France \nPanel:\nRepresentative of Algeria\nRepresentative of Japan\nAmbassador Enrique-Roman Moray\, President of Main Committee I\nMr. Mark Fitzpatrick\, IISS\, EUNPC\n\n\n13h00 – 14h30\nLunch\n\n\n14h30 – 16h00\nSession III – Peaceful uses of nuclear energy\n\n\n\nModerator: Mr. Benjamín Hautecouverture\, Senior Research Fellow\, FRS\, France \nPanel:\nRepresentative of Iran\nAmbassador David Stuart\, President of Main Committee III\nRepresentative of the IAEA\nMr. Vitaly Fedchenko\, SIPRI\, Sweden\n\n\n16h00 – 16h15\nCoffee break\n\n\n16h15 – 18h15\nSession IV – Contribution of the Nuclear Weapon Free Zones to Non-Proliferation and Disarmament\n\n\n\nModerator: Representative of Egypt \nPanel:\nRepresentative of South Africa\nRepresentative of Mexico\nAmbassador Cristian Istrate\, President of Main Committee II\nRepresentative of Finland\n\n\n18h30\nWelcome reception\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 9th 2015\n\n\n\n10h00 – 11h30\nSession V: Strengthening the NPT Review Process\n\n\n\nModerator: Representative of Algeria \nPanel:\nRepresentative of Cuba\nRepresentative of UN Office of Disarmament Affairs\nMr. Benjamin Hautecouverture\, Senior Research Fellow\, FRS\, France\n\n\n11h30-12h00\nClosing session\n\n\n\nAmbassador Jacek Bylica\, Special Envoy EEAS\, EU\nAmbassador Taous Feroukhi of Algeria\, the President-designate of the 2015 NPT Review Conference\nMr. Mark Fitzpatrick\, Director\, IISS Non-proliferation and Disarmament Programme / Vice-Chairman\, EUNPC

SUMMARY:Annecy Workshop : 2015 NPT RevCon
DESCRIPTION:On March 13-14\, 2015\, the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) hosted a two-day diplomatic workshop in Annecy\, France on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The workshop was supported by the EU Non-Proliferation Consortium. It consisted of seven sessions\, with one moderator and three commentators designated for each session. \nDespite broad agreement among diplomats in attendance on the need to strengthen the NPT as the cornerstone of the nuclear nonproliferation regime\, significant differences were evident regarding the path forward. Key sources of tension include: disappointment about the pace of progress on nuclear disarmament\, frustration over the failure to convene a conference on the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East (MEWMDFZ)\, and disagreement over the future direction of the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons (HINW) movement. Against this backdrop\, Annecy workshop participants discussed how to build upon the 2010 NPT Action Plan and considered concrete proposals that might contribute to a successful 2015 NPT RevCon. \n2015 Annecy Workshop: Looking for Common Ground Ahead of the NPT RevCon

SUMMARY:European Forum Alpbach\, Austria - "Nuclear Futures?"
DESCRIPTION:EU-organised retreat assesses future of nuclear power and related non-proliferation issues. \nAt an EU retreat in Alpbach\, Austria on 23-25 August\, three dozen experts from academia\, industry and international organisations assessed future developments impacting the peaceful use of nuclear energy. \nHeld in conjunction with the European Forum Alpbach\, the seminar on ‘Nuclear Futures?’ concluded that nuclear power will continue to be a significant part of the global energy panorama\, particularly in non-OECD Asia. \nNuclear energy can help ensure energy security and meet rising energy demands and greenhouse gas emission targets. While renewable sources will make an increasingly larger contribution\, particularly if a way can be found to store solar and wind energy\, technological advancements may also help overcome the serious problems associated with nuclear power. Indeed\, how to ensure that nuclear power is provided safely\, securely and without abetting nuclear-weapons programmes was the dominant theme of the event. Each aspect of the ‘3S’ framework – safeguards\, safety and security – was discussed at length\, as well as the role of export controls in ensuring the proper use of nuclear-related trade. \nFollowing the 2.5-day retreat\, several of the participants led a public break-out session at the Alpbach Political Symposium to present an overview of nuclear energy forecasts and the challenges it entails. \nThree separate units of the European Union joined forces in funding and organising the seminar: the European External Action Service through the EU Non-proliferation Consortium\, the Development and Cooperation – EuropeAid Directorate-General (DEVCO) of the European Commission\, and the Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC). Administrative arrangements were handled by the German Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) through its DEVCO-funded program on ‘EU-Outreach in Export Control of Dual-Use Items‘. \nDocuments\n\nConcept Note\nAgenda\nPublic breakout session\nAlpbach political symposium

SUMMARY:EU Consortium Middle East Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Capacity-building Workshop for mid-level Diplomats in support of the Helsinki Conference on a Middle East WMD Free Zone\nIn 2011 and 2012\, the EU Non-Proliferation Consortium organised two international seminars in support of a process aimed at establishing a Zone Free of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDFZ) in the Middle East. The 2011 and 2012 seminars proved successful in bringing parties together and exploring key issues. The EU decided to sponsor a related event in 2014 as a practical contribution to the Helsinki Conference. Organised by our Consortium\, a capacity-building workshop was held on the 18th and 19th June 2014 in Brussels\, bringing together mid-level diplomats from the region for presentations on zones elsewhere and building blocks of multilateral diplomacy\, along with a simulation exercise. \nAgenda\n\nConsult the agenda\n\nReport\n\nRead the report\n\nInteractive briefings\n\nAfrican Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (Pelindaba Treaty) – Case Study: History and Applicable Lessons\, by Thomas Markram (UN Office for Disarmament Affairs)\nSecurity and Confidence-Building Measures Elsewhere\, by Ambassador Rüdiger Lüdeking (Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany to the OSCE)\nMethodology\, History\, Tools of Multilateral Negotiations\, by Ambassador Arend Meerburg (The Netherlands)\nCBMs in Southeast Asia\, by Mark Fitzpatrick (IISS)\nEstablishing a WMDFZ in the Middle East\, by Tariq Rauf (SIPRI)\n\nDocuments\n\nOfficial Documents – United Nations\nOfficial Documents – European Union\nTreaties\, Conventions and Other Instruments
