CBRNE POLICIES, INTERNATIONAL LEGAL AND ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK

Description

CBRNE is a multidiscipline field, which requires a high level of commitment from law and policy makers to define sound political and legal instruments to effectively deal with the subject. The “old” threat represented by the military use of chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear agents has rapidly evolved due to a constantly changing world, compounded by cyber-related issues as well as technological and dual-use implications. Moreover, to guarantee the rapid movement of people and goods worldwide, there is a clear need for strong and easily applicable legal regimes. At the same time, CBRNE and Cyber threats have to be examined carefully from the economical perspective, since many assets may be the target of CBRNE or Cyber attack. Moreover, economic investigations represent a useful tool, and can provide additional information related to the illicit trade of CBRNE materials worldwide.

The session is aimed at bringing together researchers and experts in the following fields: 

  • International legal frameworks governing CBRNE: gaps and opportunities
  • Non-proliferation and disarmament regimes
  • Economic analysis of CBRNE events
  • International legal framework governing Cyber related issues: gaps and opportunities
  • Economic analysis of Cyber threats
