NUCLEAR DANGERS IN UKRAINE
Tues March 29, 11 am Pacific time, Zoom
Join the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation for a series of discussions on the nuclear dangers arising from Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine. Our first conversation in the series will cover the dangers of a NATO-imposed No Fly Zone to protect civilian corridors of escape and the risks of an intentional or accidental missile attack on Ukraine’s nuclear power facilities. Our purpose is to bring concerns about nuclear dangers to greater public awareness, in keeping with NAPF’s central mission of promoting nuclear abolition.
We are honored to welcome our speakers, Cynthia Lazaroff and Richard Falk, both experts on the geo-politics of the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and the threat or use of nuclear weapons.
Cynthia Lazaroff is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder of Women Transforming Our Nuclear Legacy. She is the author of Dawn of a New Armageddon, a personal account of the Hawaii missile scare published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on August 6, 2018. An expert on US-Russia relations, including on the history, geopolitics, military, cyber and escalating nuclear risks between these two countries, Cynthia has been engaged in Track II citizen diplomacy and mediation efforts with Russia since the early 1980s.
Richard Falk is a professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University, and the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees. In 2008, the United Nations Human Rights Council appointed him to a six-year term as a UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. He is the author or co-author of more than 20 books. His memoir, Public Intellectual: The Life of a Citizen Pilgrim, was published this last year.
