Inside the Arms Control Association

This past year, we have been reminded that the nuclear weapons threat still hangs over all of us. Our collective actions today to move the world back from the nuclear brink and jumpstart effective disarmament diplomacy will affect international peace and security for years to come.

Many people in the United States and around the globe are justifiably concerned about the risk of nuclear war following continued, thinly veiled nuclear threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin. In response, our Arms Control Association team has been working overtime.

The 10th NPT Review Conference finally convened Aug. 1 and ACA has been on the ground at the conference to meet with key governmental delegations, speak at expert side events and panel discussions, and press for meaningful outcomes.

Given the growing risk of nuclear war, we must do all we can to make the first meeting of TPNW states-parties and the upcoming NPT Review Conference a turning point - moving away from dangerous nuclear policies and arms racing and turning instead toward renewed and productive disarmament diplomacy.
