Multilateral negotiations are increasingly under strain, making it more important than ever to understand how global agreements are shaped behind the scenes. Dr Andraž Kastelic, a leading expert in international security, brings years of experience working at the intersection of research and negotiation. In this talk, he will explore the pivotal role of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), a United Nations body that conducts research on disarmament and international security issues and provides technical expertise to support complex negotiations among states. Join us for an insightful and accessible discussion on how UNIDIR helps keep dialogue alive in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, and why its work matters now more than ever.
