March 26, 2024	Interview with Victor Chelashow Victor Chelashow, a Kenyan physician and former IPPNW student representative, integrates public health with nuclear disarmament advocacy. He emphasizes the intersectionality of nuclear issues with climate change and social justice, tailoring messages to resonate with African audiences. Chelashow critiques the underrepresentation of Global South voices in nuclear debates and calls for inclusive language and platforms. His work focuses on education and universalizing the TPNW as steps toward stigmatizing and eventually eliminating nuclear weapons. This document summary was generated by an artificial intelligence language model and was reviewed by a Wilson Center staff member.
March 28, 2024	Interview with Ian Fleming Zhou Ian Fleming Zhou, a PhD candidate in international relations, focuses on nuclear diplomacy and non-proliferation. His interest began during his undergraduate studies, where his academic curiosity about foreign policy narrowed into nuclear negotiations, influenced by his mentor. Active in both academia and activism, he sees these roles as complementary, enhancing his ability to advocate for disarmament. Zhou critiques the current geopolitical climate, noting failures in arms control dialogue and the destabilizing effects of nuclear weapons, and calls for greater civil society involvement to pressure governments for policy change. This document summary was generated by an artificial intelligence language model and was reviewed by a Wilson Center staff member.
September 19, 1958	Address by Mr. Frank Aiken to the United Nations General Assembly Official, 23th Session, 751st Plenary Meeting Aiken’s landmark address to the plenary of the UN General Assembly on 19 September 1958 launched his non-proliferation campaign. It is the first time he publicly identified stopping the spread of nuclear weapons as a concrete step in the collective interest to unblock the disarmament impasse, preventing a runaway arms race among the powers of the Earth. It was clearly framed as part of his wider campaign for global governance based on the rule of law rather than the threat of force. For Aiken, the challenge was stabilizing the arms race and generating trust to construct a world order based on justice and law – “to preserve a Pax Atomica while we build a Pax Mundi.” This speech was a critical departure. The widespread positive reception encouraged Aiken, persuading him to draft a formal resolution.
