The Disarmament Debate: The Fate of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (Interview‪)‬

What is the Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy (LCNP) and what are its major goals for international arms control? The LCNP is a research and advocacy organization in New York City. It was formed by lawyers and academics in the early 1980s at the height of concern about the Reagan Administration's nuclear war-fighting rhetoric. We advocate at Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conferences as well as UN General Assembly and Security Council proceedings, speak with diplomats and UN officials, occasionally litigate, and are deeply engaged in national and international disarmament campaigns. One such campaign is the Middle Powers Initiative, an international civil society coalition that supports countries like Brazil, South Africa, Sweden, Canada, Germany, and Egypt in their mission to persuade nuclear-armed countries to engage in reduction and elimination of nuclear arsenals.
