I would like to thank the sponsors of the Amaldi Conference for providing me an opportunity to speak on the Pakistani national perspective on nuclear nonproliferation.

The Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) is generally regarded as the key pillar of the world nuclear order Walker (A perpetual menace: nuclear weapons and international order, Routledge, London, 2012 []). With its 188 parties, it is the most universal arms control treaty in world history.

Session 4 of the XX E. Amaldi Conference was devoted to three invited talks on the role of science in establishing technical partnership and cooperation at the international scale.

The IAEA is the world’s centre for cooperation in the nuclear field, with a mandate “to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy for peace, health and prosperity throughout the world.

From the outset, I would like to express my appreciation to the organizers for the invitation to this Conference. The theme of this session “Role of science in technical and international cooperation” is very topical as most of you would agree that we are living in particularly challenging times with serious tensions among international actors which can be compounded by mistrust and misunderstanding.

SESAME is a 2.5 GeV third-generation light source, which is coming into operation in Jordan.

I am here to deliver a message about SESAME where I currently work in Jordan, why do we need it in our region and how it is succeeding so far, based on a personal, as well as, a professional experience.

The two years that have passed since the last Edoardo Amaldi Conference have registered a sudden change of climate in Nuclear Disarmament and Non-proliferation.

The prospects for nuclear disarmament, arms control, and nonproliferation today and in the near future are bleak. Multiple factors have made the United States and the Russian Federation increasingly unlikely over the last several years to seek and agree on new measures, and some existing agreements are in peril.

In this presentation, I would like to focus exclusively on the issue of the prospects for nuclear disarmament. This question seems to require separate consideration, because the current situation in this area not only has all the signs of stagnation, but so far does not give rise to manifestations of even moderate optimism.
