Rethinking Security through Nuclear Disarmament with Florian Eblenkamp

In this climate of militarisation and declining support for international law, some European countries are considering nuclear weapons a legitimate defence strategy, with calls even emerging for the development of a European nuclear programme.

We interview Florian Eblenkamp, Advocacy Officer at the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)—the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize-winning organisation—to discuss the differing positions of European countries, NATO, and the broader international debate on nuclear disarmament.

Nuclear deterrence is based on the underlying threat of catastrophic mass destruction as a central part of policy, making it not only an ineffective strategy, but also a morally indefensible one.. Florian challenges the perceived dichotomy between disarmament and safety, insisting that the two can—and must—reinforce one another in any just and sustainable global order.
