The All Africa Media Network and Leadership Development Foundation (AAMNLDF), has called for suggestions on the best way to generate insight to achieve the demilitarisation of nuclear warheads in the world.

Mr. Cookey Iwuoha, the Managing Director of the foundation, made the call in a signed statement released to the Newsmen on Friday in Abuja.

He said that such suggestions to demilitarise the nuclear warheads should be made available in the shortest time possible, adding that it would be presented at Africa and global security discourse.

According to Iwuoha, the security discourse will be held as a virtual conference on Sept. 26 with the theme: “Why do peace and nuclear disarmament matter now”?

Iwuoha said that the world was currently being traumatized due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which had permeated the walls of nationalism and thwarted social processes.

He said that modern civilization had so far been issue-based, reminding the people of the deep interconnectedness of common destiny.

“In pursuing this question with reference to specific paper presentations, we invite a post-pandemic exploration of peace, global security, and the need for nuclear demilitarisation.’’

He said this had bordered on Human Rights, Inter-Religious Dialogue, Peace Studies, Science and Technology, Indigenous Rights, Culture, Technology, Education, Leadership, Governance, Sustainable Development, and Globalization.

Iwuoha said that the presentation would entreat multi-disciplinary perspectives targeted at capturing the problem spaces on which conflict and non-sustainability thrived.

He said that paper presentations and future conferences based on these topics would be able to address the renewed and Post-COVID-19 need for peace, conflict mitigation, and sustainability.

He said that in a world where a nuclear weapon was demilitarised, it would look at the philosophy of anarchy which had been appreciated less as the basis of International Relations.

Iwuoha said that abstract of between 150 and 250 words should be submitted on or before Aug. 21 to this address – [email protected].
