University hold panel session on Chemical Weapons and international relations
In light of the recent Salisbury and Syria chemical attacks, the University of Bradford has pooled a team of eminent experts in international relations, security, chemical weapons and Russia, for a panel discussion to look at the impact of these events on international relations.
The panel discussion titled ‘Nerve agents, secret agents and international norms’ is open to the public and will take place Wednesday 2 May, 4-6pm in JSB lecture theatre at the University of Bradford.
Speakers at the event include:
- expert on international relations and security
- expertise on chemical and biological weapons, chemical weapons convention, dual-use and ethics issues
- expert on Russia and international security
This expert panel explores the various issues raised by the Salisbury nerve agent episode in March 2018, and its aftermath that has led to expulsions of Russian diplomats in many Western countries.
The discussion locates these events in the context of international relations, British domestic politics, and evolving Russia-West relations. Additionally, links are drawn to recent use of chemical weapons in Syria, and the developments and future outlooks in the use of chemical and biological weapons.
The panel discussion will be followed by an open Q&A session.
