In a bold move, Ambassador Vayas signalled that he would develop a new fully-fledged treaty text proposal under his own authority. The text looks set to be the battleground of the final showdown of the plastics treaty talks. #PlasticsTreaty medium.com/points-of-orde…

The acquisition of nuclear create security constraints for states, notably in terms of secrecy, which can affect their democratic nature. Find out how this happens in @ThFraise's new EJIR article: t1p.de/hnsky

Genom att stödja Ryssland med trupp gör sig Nordkorea mindre beroende av Kina. Det är också ett vykort till Trump. Kim Jong-Uns regim drar också nytta av en geopolitiskt guldsits. Det skriver Jakob Hallgren, direktör Utrikespolitiska institutet, i Utrikesmagasinet👇 ui.se/utrikesmagasin…

NORSAR has detected an infrasound signal most likely associated with this explosion. We’ve not seen a seismic signal, suggesting this was an air blast. The Barents Observer: ‘Massive explosions near Severomorsk’ thebarentsobserver.com/news/massive-e…

Correction: We have identified two infrasound signals, indicating there were two explosions. #Murmansk #Severomorsk

I'm seeing multiple identical posts here on X (beginning with "Has Iran become a nuclear power") claiming that "experts" have confirmed that Iran carried out nuke tests in Oct and Nov 2024. This is totally misguided—or, worse, a lie to justify war.

This kind of “people are saying” media is deeply irresponsible. No evidence or analysis, just accusations and dramatic music and imagery.

“As global power shifts, democratic values are the United States’ enduring comparative advantage. Biden claimed to understand this, but he abandoned his own strategy at a critical time. In doing so, he paved the way for a race to the bottom.”

We have identified several seismic events from the direction of #Chernobyl occurring through the night. The IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ reports that radiation levels remain normal, but events like these highlight persistent nuclear safety risks.

– Det kan gå skikkelig ille, men vi vet også fra historien at når det har vært stor usikkerhet og vanskelig, så har man greid å finne løsninger, sier Seniorforsker Kjølv Egeland til Nettavisen i dag. Les intervjuet her: nettavisen.no/nyheter/russla…

Basically the US wanted draft resolution in pic below adopted as is but Europeans managed to amend it against the odds and add the following: Amendment 1/ PP1: replace “the Russia-Ukraine conflict” by “the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation”; Amendment 2/

🚨New open access paper of mine on the connections between climate change and the politics of nuclear arms and disarmament. Thanks to European Research Council (ERC) and Belfer Center MacArthur Foundation "Rethinking Nuclear Deterrence" for the support. academic.oup.com/isr/article/27…

Kjølv Egeland European Research Council (ERC) Belfer Center MacArthur Foundation Now I've read it. It was exactly as interesting as I thought it would be 🙏 "It is thus a democratic imperative—a condition for meaningful political agency and choice—to present both policymakers and the public with alternative visions of possible futures"

Always good to wait for additional details, but right now it doesn't look like zero enrichment was on the agenda in Rome. Whatever Witkoff said to Araghchi, it was enough to convince the Iranians that more rounds of talks were worthwhile.

We believe seismic and infrasound analysis could play an important role (as one of several layers) in a future ceasefire monitoring scheme for Ukraine. Basic idea laid out in this Dagens Næringsliv op-ed. A longer policy paper will follow. Stay tuned: dn.no/innlegg/ukrain…

Norge har avgjørende ekspertise og kan spille en viktig rolle i utviklingen av et overvåkningssystem for en våpenhvile i #Ukraina 🇺🇦, skriver NORSAR og PRIOs Sebastian Schutte (@sschutte.bsky.social) på Dagens Næringsliv. Leser mer her ⤵️ dn.no/innlegg/ukrain…

Nuke testing by the DPRK "would further undermine the global moratorium. Should major powers follow suit, the world could see a return to competitive nuclear weapons development [...] an outcome the CTBT sought to prevent", writes Leonam dos Santos Guimaraes IDN-InDepthNews indepthnews.net/emerging-risks…
