Part 2 A Track II Workshop on Disarmament Ideas to make disarmament more visible
ARF Work plan on disarmament Goals from the Hanoi Plan of Action: ◦а world free of nuclear weapons: how can ARF contribute to its achievement? ◦Implementation of international treaties ◦“might consider the merit of the СТВT” ◦Training program for officials Other goals: ◦BWC ratification Topics for future work: ◦Training program for officials ◦Public disarmament education ◦Exchange of views on how ARF could contribute to the achievement of the goal of а world free of nuclear weapons
1. What role for the ARF? Disarmament objectives that fit the forum (rather than a long laundry list) What is the ARF good at? Who is in charge? What are the major challenges to being successful on nuclear disarmament?
2. What process for achieving outcomes? How to achieve the most success through the forum? What is the process for decision making and action? How does the relationship between track 1 and 2 work?
3. How to achieve visibility/ relevancy? What will increase visibility and relevancy the most? Can intractable disputes be put to one side when addressing nuclear issues? Does the ARF have a substantive role on security issues like nuclear (NK?)
4. What issues should CSCAP address? What should the ARF focus on (what issues/ objectives?) How should CSCAP address ARF issues?
How should CSCAP approach the issue of disarmament? Recognise broader ARF function/ issues objectives
ID actions for other forums
