Event Outline

Nuclear disarmament is often dismissed as idealistic, yet nuclear weapons continue to be justified through self-defence and deterrence, and remain deeply embedded in legal and political authority. This lecture explores the bomb as a constitutional artefact that has shaped world order, asking what forms of domination it sustains and why disarmament should be understood not as utopian aspiration, but as a constitutional imperative.
