A lecture "Disarmament in an Age of Uncertainty" by Tsutomu Kono

In an increasingly multipolar world, powerful nations are increasing defense budgets, triggering an endless spiral of global arms races.

Speaker: Mr. Tsutomu Kono, recently retired senior political affairs officer from the Office for Disarmament Affairs at the United Nations in New York and Geneva. He continues to work as a Fellow of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) after his 25-year service at the UN Secretariat. 

Sponsored by EAS, History, Politics, Peace and Conflict Studies, Oberlin Shansi.
