SUMMARY:Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences Arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas
DESCRIPTION:The use of explosive weapons in populated areas (EWIPA) is a major cause of civilian harm in armed conflicts worldwide. In addition to their devastating direct effects\, the impacts of the use of explosive weapons reverberate for a long time after a conflict has ended\, causing severe and long-lasting harm to people and communities. \nThe Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences Arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas (EWIPA Political Declaration)\, endorsed by over 80 States\, provides a crucial framework for action and collaboration in preventing and mitigating these harms and strengthening the protection of civilians in armed conflict. \nAhead of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) First Committee in October 2024\, UNIDIR and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) has organizd a series of online regional briefings to raise awareness of the EWIPA Political Declaration and promote exchanges of regional experiences and approaches. \nThe briefings aim to help inform discussions among Member States in relevant regional and international meetings. Furthermore\, the briefings will contribute to preparations towards the second international follow-up Conference of the Declaration\, to be held in San José\, Costa Rica\, in 2025. \nWhen and Where\nTimes and days vary for different regional groups\, please see below to identify your regional group. \n\n\n\n\nAfrican States\n1 October 2024\, 10:00-11:00 CEST\nRegister here\n\n\nLatin American and Caribbean States\n1 October 2024\, 16:00-17:00 CEST\nRegister here\n\n\nAsia-Pacific States\n2 October 2024\, 10:00-11:00 CEST\nRegister here\n\n\nEastern European States\n2 October 2024\, 14:00-15:00 CEST\nRegister here\n\n\nWestern European and other States\n3 October 2024\, 14:00-15:00 CEST\nRegister here\n\n\nCheck your local time zone here\nPlease register for each regional briefing.

SUMMARY:The Central Role of Nuclear Operators in Implementing the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and its Amendment
DESCRIPTION:The Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and its Amendment (A/CPPNM) is the only binding international instrument concerned with the physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities. \nMuch of the discussion to date surrounding the CPPNM and its A/CPPNM has been focused on stakeholders at the international and national level\, often overlooking the perspective of nuclear operators. \nThe World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS) will host an online 3-day workshop 12-14 March 2024 to shine a spotlight on whether nuclear operators recognise the link between this international instrument and their daily practice; how their experience can be conveyed to the international community of practitioners and how this experience could be used to enhance both the instrument and collective support for it. \nCPPNM and A/CPPNM has several implications for nuclear operators\, including the following: \n\nInfluences the content of national legal and regulatory frameworks for the physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities\nDefines criminal offenses involving or directed at nuclear material and nuclear facilities\nImpacts how many national stakeholders – including nuclear operators – design\, plan and implement nuclear security measures.\nRaises the question of how recent global events have changed the threat and risk environment for nuclear operators\n\nWho Should Attend? \nAre you a nuclear operator? \nAre you responsible for the design and implementation of physical protection measures or are you impacted by physical protection measures in carrying out operations? \nIs your country a State Party to the Convention on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and its Amendment (if you’re unsure\, you can click here to find out)? \nWould you like to learn more about the role of this important international legal instrument in shaping your country’s approach to physical protection of nuclear material and facilities? \nThen sign up for this workshop to: \n\nHear from experts about the role of nuclear operators under the CPPNM and A/CPPNM\nEngage with other participants and subject matter experts on the topic in an interactive manner\nUnderstand how nuclear operators can benefit from a deeper awareness of these international obligations in a dynamic threat and risk environment\n\nPlease visit the World Institute for Nuclear Security’s Central Role of Nuclear Operators in Implementing the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and its Amendment event page to apply for this event.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Strengthening the Security of Nuclear Facilities
DESCRIPTION:The Introduction to the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Strengthening the Security of Nuclear Facilities workshop on 6-8 Feb 2024 will review the latest information on the various applications of AI in nuclear security and specifically physical protection in the context of nuclear facilities. \nThis workshop will explore how AI can play a significant role in improving physical protection by enhancing threat detection\, monitoring\, and response capabilities. In particular\, the workshop will explore the following areas: \n\nVideo Surveillance and Monitoring (Facial Recognition\, Object Detection\, Behavioural Analysis)\nIntrusion Detection (Data Integration\, Anomaly Detection\, Pattern Recognition)\nPredictive Maintenance (Sensor Monitoring\, Data Analysis)\nResponse (Automated Alerts\, Scenario Prediction\, Real-time Engagement Awareness)\nOpen Source Intelligence (Information gathering; Threat assessment)\nEducation (Personalised training; Tailored exercises)\n\nIt clearly appears that AI holds immense potential to drive innovation\, improve decision-making processes and solve complex problems across various fields\, and eventually positively impacting society. How does it apply to the nuclear industry and in particular to the security of the nuclear materials\, processes and facilities all along the fuel cycle? What are the expected nuclear security benefits? What could be the risks? What is the right level of the human-in-the loop when assessing security incidents. \nNuclear operators and other nuclear security stakeholders are already investing significant resources to address ever evolving threats and to continuously look for new approaches and advanced technologies that will help ensure they remain one step ahead of their adversaries. What attitude should nuclear operators adopt towards AI? How can they develop their understanding of the topic? How can they design and implement a process for integrating AI capabilities into their nuclear security programme equipment and security solutions? What are the prerequisites to the successful implement such technology? What could be challenges\, including legal and ethical matters? \nThe workshop will offer the opportunity for the participants to benefit from the experience of practitioners who are already using AI to enhance the performance of their security arrangements. \nParticipation is limited to space available. \nPlease visit the World Institute for Nuclear Security’s Introduction to the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Strengthening the Security of Nuclear Facilities page for more information.
