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 consider a new briefing on keeping the door open to diplomacy in Ukraine, the implications of Canada’s China policy for the pivotal Montreal Summit on Biodiversity and the definitional challenge for assault-style rifles in Bill C-21.
This week we examine the last chance for the Iran nuclear deal, Shinzo Abe’s terrible legacy of remilitarization in Japan, weapons trafficking in Ukraine and some very good news about Palestinian studies in Canada.
