Thanks Manpreet Sethi ! That is exactly BASIC's way of running dialogues. Your presence is always inspiring 🙏

Read our primer which explores how Nuclear Weapon States and Non-Nuclear Weapon States use the language of responsibility in the context of the #NPT, by analysing statements from #RevCons and #PrepComs. buff.ly/41d8WrW

Check out this piece I co-authored with Chiara Cervasio Mhairi McClafferty and Eva Nour on the use of responsibility language in the #NPT context. We explain the diff ways in which language is used and pull out some key themes coming out of the review process
