Arms Control Association (ACA) Annual Meeting and Luncheon

Location: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,1779 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, D.C.
Location: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,1779 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, D.C.
On July 1, 1968, the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) was opened for signature. Forty years later, 188 states have joined the treaty, and there are nine states possessing nuclear weapons, not the dozens anticipated before the NPT came into being.
Yet, as George Shultz, William Perry, Henry Kissinger, Sam Nunn, and others have recently warned, the effort to curb nuclear proliferation is now at a “tipping point.”
You are invited to join ACA members and colleagues for ACA’s Annual Luncheon and Meeting, which will put a special focus this year on strengthening and assessing the future of this vital treaty.
Ambassador Sergio Duarte, United Nations High Representative for Disarmament Affairs and President of the 2005 NPT Review Conference, will deliver the keynote luncheon address on strategies to make the 2010 NPT Review Conference a success. Few diplomats, officials, or experts have as many personal and lifelong experiences with the NPT as Ambassador Duarte, and the Association is honored that he will help commemorate the treaty’s first 40 years and address its current and future challenges.
The luncheon address will be preceded by a 9:30 am morning panel discussion on “Addressing the Challenges Facing the NPT” with top experts, including: Amb. Norm Wulf, former President’s Special Representative for Nuclear Nonproliferation (1999-2002) and head of the 2000 U.S. delegation to the 2000 NPT Review Conference; Sharon Squassoni, Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; and Andrew K. Semmel, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy and Negotiations
Following the luncheon address, at 1:00pm , ACA will host a roundtable discussion on “How the Next President Can Strengthen the Nonproliferation Effort.” Representatives of the presidential campaigns have been invited to describe their candidate’s views.
