Future of arms control central to meeting in The Hague
An important discussion on the future of international arms control will soon take place in The Hague. The Asser Institute is organizing a meeting where experts will speak about how we handle weapons and military technology in the future.
Central to the discussion is the question of how legislation and politics can contribute to greater restraint. Tim Sweijs, an expert in this field, will explain during the event why traditional agreements on weapons are no longer sufficient in the modern world.
The world is changing rapidly due to new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. These developments make it more difficult for countries to agree on clear rules. The goal of the meeting is to look at new ways to prevent conflicts and increase global security.
This topic is highly relevant for the Netherlands, as our country plays an active role in international law and diplomacy. By bringing experts together, the Asser Institute hopes to offer new insights for policymakers and legal professionals working toward a safer future.
The meeting provides a platform for a critical conversation about the balance between military power and international law. Those interested can register to learn more about the complex challenges the international community is currently facing.
