About the event

International Law and Human Rights Unit - Guest Speaker Series

In his recent book, “Humanization of Arms Control: Paving the Way for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons” (Routledge, 2017), Daniel Rietiker argues for putting human beings, rather than state security, at the center of disarmament law. After laying out the history of this approach in previous treaties, he will examine how it has played out in the negotiations and text of the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Dr. Rietiker is a senior lawyer at the European Court of Human Rights, a reader of public international law at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), and a member of the adjunct faculty at Suffolk University Law School
