  • ELN Group Statement UNGA 2019
    As world leaders prepare to meet this month at the United Nations in New York, we call on them to take urgent steps to reduce the risks of nuclear confrontation. We join a growing number of international leaders in raising the alarm over new nuclear dangers. Last month we witnessed the end of the landmark US-Russia Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). Today, there are grave doubts over the future of the only remaining agreement that limits and regulates Washington and Moscow’s strategic nuclear weapons, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). And new challenges confront the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Stability is eroding and risks are rising. North Korea has grown its nuclear weapon stockpile, tests missiles, and continues to feel threatened. The fate of inter-Korean and US-DPRK dialogue remains uncertain. Tensions are flaring between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan. And, following Washington’s unilateral breach and resumed sanctions, Iran may walk away from the nuclear deal that constrains its ability to develop nuclear weapons. Moreover, new military technologies threaten to destabilise global and regional nuclear confrontations. These technologies are rapidly evolving and entirely uncontrolled. The risks of nuclear accident, misjudgement or miscalculation have not been higher since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Complacency should not be an option. It is not only European security at stake. Simply coercing an adversary will not restore stability. Politically unrealistic appeals for transformed behaviour will not build trust. An accelerating arms race makes both trust and safer behaviours harder to achieve. It is possible to negotiate with adversaries without condoning unacceptable behaviour.

By 1752, there was a garrison on Letort Creek at what is today Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In those days, Carlisle Barracks lay at the western edge of the American colonies. It was a bastion for the protection of settlers and a departure point for further exploration. Today, as was the case over two centuries ago, Carlisle Barracks, as the home of the U.S. Army War College, is a place of transition and transformation. In the same spirit of bold curiosity that compelled the men and women who, like Letort, settled the American West, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) presents The Letort Papers.

    40 years since END European Nuclear Disarmament “Detente from below” AN INTERVIEW WITH TAIR TAIROV Publisher Suomen Rauhanliitto – Finlands Fredsförbund With support from Leo Mechelin foundation April 2020 Cover photo of Tairov Timo Mielonen Graphic layout of cover and text Tuomas Nikulin FOLKE SUNDMAN FOREWORD TO THE INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR TAIR TAIROV THE EUROPEAN PEACE MOVEMENT AND THE BREAKDOWN OF THE COLD WAR On April 28th, 1980, an appeal for European Nuclear Disarmament was launched at a press conference which took place in the House of Commons in the UK. The main authors were E. P. Thompson, Mary Kaldor, Dan Smith and Ken Coates, but the text was the outcome of broad consultations and discus- sions mainly within the British peace movements. The END was an early response to the new nuclear arms race that accel- erated from the late 1970s onwards and had a special focus ona Europe. That nuclear threat re-activated many old peace movements and organizations, but it also formed the basis for new movements and action groups all over Europe and other parts of the world. The new wave of peace activities was quite het- erogenous politically and organizationally, the common denominator being a clear stance against the deployment of new medium-range missiles in Europe. The home base of END was the UK and the British peace movement, but it rapidly gained ground all over Europe. END was both a political concept and an organization. Organizationally the most visible part of the initiative were the big END Conventions that were organized in a range of European countries, starting in Brussels in 1982 and finishing in Moscow in 1991.

  • Europe – Whole and Free?
    Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic Europe – Whole and Free? Two Decades Since the End of the Warsaw Pact Prague, June 27 – 28, 2011 Introduction The conference “Europe - Whole and Free? Two Decades Since the End of the Warsaw Pact,” organized jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic, commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Warsaw Pact dissolution. The Warsaw Treaty Organization was formally dissolved on July 1, 1991. In a twist of history, it took place in Prague, in the city targeted in 1968 by the only major military action the Pact had ever undertaken. The conference takes place in the Czernin Palace which hosted the act of the Warsaw Pact dissolution twenty years ago. Upon the invitation by Karel Schwarzenberg, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Alexandr Vondra, Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic, the traditional seat of the Czechoslovak and Czech Foreign Service now welcomes some of the main political actors from both sides of the former Iron Curtain, who contributed to the adoption of the historical decision, as well as scholars. The aim of the conference is to examine the fundamental change the Warsaw Pact dissolution brought to the European security architecture and its lasting implications. The first day of the conference shall discuss the past and future development of the transatlantic and Eurasian cooperation in the area of security and defense from the foreign policy perspective. The main focus is on NATO enlargement and relations between Russia and the Western world, including former members of the Warsaw Pact, now members of NATO and the European Union.

For the last 3 years I have been intensively working in Moscow libraries and consultating well-known Russian and German journalists and editors.

The KGB’s omnipresence in the USSR and its extensive network abroad was the result of the Soviet leadership's determination to control the population inside the USSR, and until the mid 1980s, in accordance with Marxist-Leninist principles, to propel its version of communism as far and as wide as was politically, militarily and financially feasible. The KGB was the sword and shield of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, its occasional Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a research organisation forced sometimes to produce analysis which had nothing to do with its statutory mission and which appropriate institutes in Moscow could have done better1. The political need to pamper the KGB translated well into almost unlimited funds, facilities, the ability to place KGB personnel in any Soviet organisation, inside or abroad and job offers no other organisation could match2. Its foreign intelligence gathering and processing body was known as the PGU, the Russian acronym for the First Chief Directorate.
