Opis

Humanitarian disarmament is not new, but instead represents a re-emergence of a long-standing sensibility in disarmament discourse

Recenzje

'In a relaxed and informative style, Dr Dunworth surveys the humanitarian impetus for key disarmament efforts and outcomes, spanning from the St Petersburg Declaration of 1868 up until the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in 2017. It is a fascinating and illuminating account - a rewarding read for anyone interested in disarmament.' Dell Higgie, New Zealand Ambassador for Disarmament, New Zealand's Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament
