TAKING STOCK OF THE FMCT  

26 March 2024 | 13:15 – 14:45 CEST | Room VIII, A Building, Palais des Nations + Online 

WHAT: A treaty to ban the production of fissile materials has been an important element of efforts to advance nuclear disarmament and strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation regime for more than two decades. Despite significant support for commencing negotiations on a fissile material cut-off treaty (FMCT), progress remains deadlocked.  

To explore options and opportunities to revitalize the FMCT process, UNIDIR is organising a panel event to provide States with a range of strategies that could help revitalize the debate and address some of the issues that have stifled progress towards the start of negotiations.  

The event will include the presentation of a UNIDIR working paper on unblocking the FMCT, followed by a panel discussion and a question-and-answer session with participants. 

WHEN & WHERE: 26 March 2024 | 13:15 – 14:45 CEST | Room VIII, A Building, Palais des Nations + Online. Check your local time zone here.

PARTICIPANTS: The event is open to State representatives and experts working on or interested in issues pertaining to nuclear disarmament and a fissile material cut-off treaty.  

RSVP: Please register at Indico for in-person and online participation.
