We are pleased to invite you to a NPT PrepCom side event co-sponsored by the New York Office of the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, the Middle East Treaty Organization, and the International Peace Bureau .
As in previous years, RLS-NYC is partnering with METO for the Second Session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2026 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, which will be held in the United Nations in Geneva from July 22 July to August 2, 2024.
The 2024 NPT PrepCom is an opportunity to strengthen efforts to achieve a Middle East WMD Free Zone (WMDFZ). This PrepCom comes at a challenging geopolitical moment facing the region and at a time when complementary processes are gathering momentum to advance the WMDFZ.
The side event will be an opportunity to look at the latest developments following the recent 2023 UN Conference for a WMD Free Zone in the Middle East (November Conference), linkages between the Zone, regional geopolitical conditions and advancing global disarmament. The event will also encourage cooperative and inclusive approaches along with tangible pathways forward toward regional peace and security.
Side event “Achieving the [im]possible: Peace and disarmament in the Middle East”
Tuesday, 23 July 13:15 – 14:45 CEST
Palais des Nations, Room XXIII, UN Geneva
