South Asian Strategic Stability Institute (SASSI) is organising a three-day international conference to formulate a fissile material treaty for nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control, and improving trust at a time of turbulent international security environment.
The moot titled 'Fissile Material: Possibility and Prospects' starting from March 20, aims at negotiating a Fissile Material Treaty (FMT) through a multilateral process, which is central to the international non-proliferation efforts, arms control and disarmament measures.
The three-day workshop is aimed to develop the academic discourse and help to draw policy options for the policy makers as well as all non-proliferation stakeholders on the future of FMT. The workshop intends to identify the underlying problems such as scope of FMT, verification system and issue of existing and future stocks of fissile materials.
