2020 jährt sich das Inkrafttreten des Atomwaffensperrvertrages (NPT) zum fünfzigsten Mal. Dieser Vertrag soll zum einen die Verbreitung von Nuklearwaffen über die 1967 bestehenden fünf Nuklearwaffenmächte (USA, Sowjetunion, Frankreich, Großbritannien und China) hinaus verhindern, was von der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEO) in Wien überwacht wird. Zum anderen verlangt er in Artikel VI von den Nuklearwaffenmächten ernsthafte Verhandlungen über die vollständige Abrüstung zu führen.

During its visit to Tirana, Albania in February 2020 as part of the “Young Generations for the New Balkans 2030: Towards Alternative Horizons” initiative, the IIP conducted interviews with three Western Balkans Initiative experts on their recently published Vision 2030 policy proposal.

We, the entire team of the IIP and all its members, congratulate our Honorary President Erwin Lanc, former Minister for Interior Affairs, Traffic and Foreign Relations, on his 90th birthday! We wish you health, happiness, and prosperity, and would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your extraordinary commitment within the framework of the IIP, which you led as president from 1991-2008.

At the "Friends with Enemies: Neutrality and Nonalignment Then and Now" conference on March 2-3, 2020, the IIP spoke with a number of experts about the concepts of neutrality, both as a theoretical framework as well as in practice.

Director of the IIP Stephanie Fenkart spoke with Vasyl Filipchuk, Senior Advisor of the International Centre for Policy Studies in Kyiv, on the impact of the ongoing covid-19 pandemic on the political situation in Ukraine and its impacts for the war in the east.

Nadiia Koval, member of the Board, Head of Central and Western European Studies at the Foreign Policy Council "Ukrainian Prism," speaks about the impact of Covid-19 in Ukraine and its political, economic, and social implications.

The global Covid-19 epidemic has abruptly changed our ways of life, our relationships, our work. Reduced mobility and safety measures have put a halt to conferences and many of the “social” activities that belong to a think tank’s daily life and work. This crisis has hit ISPI, too. But not our willingness to innovate, adapt, and carry on working with even more focus, curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

“Trump verliert die Führungsrolle der USA in der Welt. Verliert er auch die Wahlen daheim? Welche Welt finden wir nach Covid-19 vor? Welche Rolle spielt die USA darin? Die USA sind jedenfalls dabei, ihre vermeintliche Führungsrolle bei globalen Krisen unter Trump gänzlich einzubüßen. US-Präsident Trump präsentiert sich als “Kriegspräsident", auch im die Wahlen zu gewinnen.” Heinz Gärtner für International
