To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Tlatelolco, the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL) held an international seminar entitled “A world free of nuclear weapons: is it possible? Is it desirable? How could it be achieved?

VCDNP Senior Fellow Angela Kane participated in the seminar, which occurred a few weeks before negotiations on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons commenced. During her presentation, she spoke about the nature of strategic stability and how it has changed since the emergence of the multi-polar global power balance. She also discussed the role that evolving technology will play in strategic stability in the years to come.

“We need to look at the outdated concept of global strategic stability. We need to reassess it, to re-conceptualize it and adapt it to take account of the current challenges. How to implement it, however, is uncertain in light of the various complex relational dynamics between states and the challenges posed by technological advances that are not in the hands of states alone. States do not have the ultimate capability to influence all these aspects.”

Ms. Kane’s full remarks are available in the publication from the seminar.
