Modest but important steps in the direction of diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine; strengthening the nuclear testing taboo, and disturbing new reasons why Canada should end its arms exports to Saudi Arabia are some of our topics in today’s blog post.
Today we examine how the Ukraine war is exacerbating nuclear risks on the Korean peninsula and beyond, consider the implications of Russia’s retreat from Kherson and renewed concerns about America’s approach to negotiations and more.
In the wake of our failed Security Council bid, now is the time for Canada to review our foreign policy, rebuild diplomatic capacity and strengthen civil society engagement, while also taking immediate steps to fulfill our declared commitments to foreign aid, peacekeeping, disarmament and international law.
