Collaboration between governments and civil society on disarmament and non-proliferation education

Disarmament and non-proliferation education encompasses two critical objectives: to pass on the personal accounts of survivors for the future generation and to provide a factual and critical perspective to both policy practitioners and the general public. While the promotion of disarmament and non-proliferation has enjoyed overall support, these two objectives are not always recognized by either policy practitioners or civil society members involved. Furthermore, effective collaboration between Governments and civil society in this field are also not fully recognized, due, in part, to the presumption that there could be potential conflicts of interest between the two. This article outlines some recent developments in this arena and observes how these two key objectives have been achieved thus far by the synergies produced by both Governments and civil society. It also identifies challenges faced by the disarmament and non-proliferation community regarding compartmentalization and over-specialization of issues and the need to find ways to address cross-cutting issues in this field.
