NATO and the Future Role of Nuclear Weapons
The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and Parliamentarians for Nuclear non-Proliferation and Disarmament PNND are holding a panel discussion at the German Bundestag. The focus of the discussion will be on NATO and the role of nuclear weapons. At the same time, we would like to discuss the future development of nuclear strategies and the process of modernization of nuclear weapons as it can currently be observed in several NATO member states. It is our goal to contribute to the debate within NATO from a parliamentary and civil society perspective.
There are still places available.
Due to the special security measures for entering the Bundestag, it is required that you indicate your date of birth in your registration email. Furthermore, you are required to bring your passport to gain admission to the event.
The available place will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
