Veteran diplomat and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Emeritus Hans Blix warns that a volatile world of renewed great-power conflict and accelerating rearmament is eroding the foundations of arms control.

P5 perspectives on the 2026 NPT Review Conference: United Kingdom

In the third in our series exploring P5 perspectives on the forthcoming 2026 NPT Review Conference, Sahil Shah looks at the UK’s approach.
