About the Book
"The Humanization of Arms Control: A New Approach to Nuclear Disarmament" by Daniel Rietiker presents a groundbreaking exploration of nuclear disarmament by shifting focus from state-centric security concerns to the human dimension. Despite significant political commitments and clear legal frameworks, nuclear disarmament has stalled for two decades, with the use of these weapons still not banned. This book proposes the humanization of arms control, arguing for new strategies rooted in human rights and civil society involvement.
Key Features:
-
Human-Centric Approach to Arms Control: Examines arms control treaties through the lens of human security, rather than focusing solely on state interests.
-
Civil Society’s Role: Analyzes the impact of civil society movements in the disarmament process, drawing on successes from the anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions movements.
-
International Legal Framework: Discusses the legality of nuclear weapons under international humanitarian law and human rights law, asserting their use as violations of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
-
Impact on Vulnerable Groups: Focuses on the devastating effects of nuclear weapons on indigenous peoples, women, and children, as well as their broader environmental and global developmental consequences.
-
Concrete Proposals for Progress: Concludes with actionable recommendations for advancing towards a nuclear-free world, emphasizing the need for legally binding international agreements.
This book is an essential read for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in nuclear disarmament, international relations, and human rights, offering a fresh perspective on creating a safer, more just global order.
