Global Nuclear Vulnerability:
Lessons for a More Secure and Peaceful World

The 2016 CIF Spring Conference was a great success ! High school students from Japan, US and Russia were joined by former US Secretary of Defense, Dr. William Perry and his daughter Robin Perry. Dr. Perry saluted the CNS for “pioneering” nonproliferation and disarmament education and congratulated the participants of the conference. Dr. Perry emphasized that “the best way to deal with this nuclear problem is through education, and education has to start young, at high school.”
