Securing a Future for the CTBT: Science and Diplomacy

Please join us on Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 2pm for a conversation with Dr. Lassina Zerbo, the Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, signed almost twenty years ago, has not yet entered into force, but nonetheless has been making its own contributions to international peace and security. Dr. Zerbo will discuss the CTBT’s importance in the current Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review cycle, as well as the challenges and opportunities for advancing the CTBT’s entry into force. He will also address the development of the CTBT’s science-based verification regime and its role in detecting North Korean nuclear tests.
