New legal opinion to be launched

Join us on Tuesday 18th May at 2pm as Parliamentary CND launches a new Legal Opinion on the Government’s decision to increase the UK’s nuclear warheads by more than 40%. Renowned lawyers, Professor Christine Chinkin and Dr Louise Arimatsu of the LSE will present their findings. They will be joined by Kirsten Oswald MP, Chair of Parliamentary CND and Kate Hudson from CND. 

The increase in nuclear warheads has faced widespread international condemnation. It rips up decades of UK policy and has been described as starting a new nuclear arms race.

Join our online meeting to hear the definitive view on the legality of this increase – and put your questions to the top legal experts.
