About the event
There is a crisis in modern nuclear arms control law. With the demise of the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty and the failure of efforts to negotiate a successor to the 2010 New START treaty, there is a real danger that, as of 4 February 2026, there will be no international legal limits on either the US or Russia’s stockpiling and fielding of nuclear weapons and delivery systems.
In this lecture, Professor Daniel Joyner will discuss and contextualize this crisis, consider its implications, and explore possible futures for a new generation of nuclear arms control law.
