In The Zone podcast series from the Middle East Treaty Organization
Pressenza is delighted to bring to our website visitors the podcast series “In the Zone” from the Middle East Treaty Organization (METO).
The podcast series explores some of the constructive approaches that improve the chances of achieving a Weapons of Mass Destruction Free-Zone (WMDFZ) in the Middle East. Experts in their fields are asked about how to dodge the obstacles, how to build trust between countries and how to improve peace and security for people in the region. The interviews are conducted by Paul Ingram and Anahita Parsa.
In episode 16 of In The Zone, which was recorded in the week before the 2nd session of the UN conference to negotiate a weapons-of-mass-destruction-free-zone in the Middle East in November 2021, Paul Ingram and Anahita Parsa talk with METO’s Draft Treaty writers, Sharon Dolev and Leonardo Bandarra about the latest version of the Draft Treaty. In this interview, Sharon and Leonardo talk about the objectives and challenges in writing a WMD treaty, the lessons learned from nuclear weapon free zones in other regions of the planet, and the pros and cons of Israel not attending this November conference, among other things.
