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
