Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament in the Middle East

Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament in the Middle East are a sine qua non for security and stability in the region. Addressing them is of paramount importance and urgency if further breakouts are to be prevented. This has to be done in a comprehensive manner without prejudice or preference. The renewed JCPOA negotiations should be a stepping stone in the direction of establishing a Nuclear Weapon Free Middle East. The said zone is a fundamental component of a new Middle East security architecture based on two essential pillars: disarmament and conflict resolution based on international law.
