Our upcoming program on April 17th will be a discussion between Jonathan Granoff and Charles Moxley, concerning Prof. Moxley’s upcoming new book, Nuclear Weapons and International Law: Existential Risks of Nuclear War and Deterrence through a Legal Lens. Professor’s Moxley upcoming book provides a comprehensive analysis of the lawfulness of the use of nuclear weapons, based on existing international law, established facts as to nuclear weapons and their effects, and nuclear weapons policies and plans of the United States. Moxley argues that law can be a positive force in society’s addressing existential risks posed by nuclear weapons and the policy of nuclear deterrence.

9th August, 2023 marks the 78th anniversary of the horrific bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No state has used the nuclear bomb in these 78 years, but the fact that such weapon exists today is sufficient to question the legality of nuclear weapons under international law. My article on the topic of 'Legality of the Nuclear Weapons under international law' published in today's edition of Marathi newspaper Sakal.

Aryan Tulsyan, a fourth-year student at Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) recently wrote an article titled " Marshal Islands v The World: A Case for Criminalizing Nuclear Proliferation?" for Society of International Law and Policy . In light of the “suffering which its people endured as a result of it being used as a site for extensive nuclear testing”, the Marshall Islands decided to approach the International Court of Justice to seek relief, and to reignite the debate on nuclear non-proliferation.

#nuclearweapons #legaltech & #internationalrelations 🤝 Imagine a world where a single bomb could be 24 times more destructive than the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. That's the reality of the B61-13, a new nuclear bomb recently unveiled by the US. The development of this weapon raises serious questions about the future of nuclear technology, international law, and global politics. This isn't just another weapon unveiling; it's a stark reminder that technological progress has no boundaries. LegalTech, often associated with patents and intellectual property protection, is stepping into a new arena - regulating emerging technologies that have the potential to reshape our world. The B61-13 also highlights the importance of international law in regulating weapons of mass destruction. Treaties and agreements like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are essential for preventing the unchecked proliferation of these weapons. U.S. Department of State As John Plumb, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy , rightly points out, "Today's announcement reflects a shifting security landscape and growing concerns from potential adversaries." International treaties and legal agreements stand as the cornerstone for preventing the unchecked spread of such powerful capabilities. However, rising tensions between the US, Russia, and China threaten to undermine these agreements. This underscores the need for legal professionals to work closely with policymakers to develop effective strategies for managing nuclear risks in the 21st century. In the case of the B61-13, the development and deployment of this formidable weapon are intricately woven into the fabric of international relations. It's a clear demonstration of how law and technology are closely intertwined, especially when dealing with countries like the US, Russia, and China in the context of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation agreements. In the era of LegalTech, it's not just about patents and contracts. It's about shaping the future of our world. This underscores the need for legal professionals to stay ahead in the fast-evolving landscape of intellectual property and technology law. Our role is not just safeguarding inventions but also maintaining the delicate balance of power in a rapidly changing world. #legaltech #iprights #technologylaw #globalrelations #nucleartechnology #innovation #internationallaw

In his cover feature for the latest issue of #ArmsControlToday, John Burroughs makes a strong case that threats of nuclear weapons use are not only unacceptable but illegitimate under international law. Read "The Inadmissibility of Nuclear Threats" at ArmsControl.org/Today.

📢The 7th and 8th of July mark momentous moments for the status of nuclear weapons under international law. 📢 Today marks 6 years since the #UnitedNations adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (#TPNW) in 2017, prohibiting the use, possession, and development of #nuclearweapons. While on the 8th of July 1996, the International Court of Justice (#ICJ) issued its #AdvisoryOpinion, The Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons ruling that nuclear weapons are generally illegal, and all states possessing them are obligated to bring to a conclusion negotiations on nuclear #disarmament in all its aspects. 🌏 We want to acknowledge the amazing effort and dedication of those in civil society and from like-minded states, such as our founders and Aotearoa, New Zealand, who worked together to achieve these phenomenal accomplishments to make our world a safer place 🙌 . We are eternally grateful, and long may the work continue until we are rid of weapons of mass destruction.
