On May 11, the Federation of American Scientists premiered the documentary “Paths to Zero” at the United Nations during the 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT RevCon). The film screening was part of FAS’s official presence through the UN Office of Disarmament Affairs. The video is available online at http://www.fas.org/press/tools/_video/paths_to_zero.html.
One of the biggest challenges facing our world this century is the erosion of global security in a nuclear-armed world. The world’s combined stockpile of nuclear weapons – more than 24,000 – remains at a frighteningly high level despite being two decades past the end of the Cold War.
In this video, FAS Vice President Dr. Ivan Oelrich explains the history of how the nuclear-armed world got to this point, and how to move down a global path toward zero nuclear weapons.
The screening was followed by an engaging conversation between the audience and Dr. Oelrich, who was in NYC to promote the film.
As a result of some suggestions, the narration will be translated to different languages. In addition, FAS is developing a new tool, using this video at its core. The online interactive feature will allow users to find additional information as topics are mentioned in the video. FAS
