The Regina Seminar on the Elimination of Weapons of Mass Destruction

by Yussuf Naim Kly

In the months preceding the Regina Seminar, the issue of weapons of mass destruction was of paramount concern. The United States, a nuclear power, had launched a pre-emptive attack on the sovereign nation of Iraq, a non-nuclear power, on the basis of its contention that Iraq was in the process of developing nuclear weapons, and that if it succeeded, the world would be threatened with their imminent use. The world was also witnessing the steady expansion of the list of nations which have nuclear weapons capacity, and the possibility of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists. The Regina Seminar sought to encourage the exposure of new cross-civilizational norms on this issue.
