This youth orientation will be open to all youth groups and will be centered on two interactive panels with former RTT interns, current Hiroshima and Nagasaki peace messengers, nuclear testing survivors from Kiribati and Kazakhstan, and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. This youth orientation is being organized and will be led by young members of our delegation.

Thursday, March 6: NYU Event Examining the Relationship between the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons and the TPNW
7:00 PM TO 9:00 PM
New York University Rosenthal Pavilion, Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square S, New York, NY 10012, 10th floor
Youth engagement is pivotal in advancing nuclear disarmament efforts and fostering a peaceful future. New York University (NYU) has the potential to be a space that encourages this youth engagement by helping equip youth leaders with the tools and knowledge necessary to make a meaningful impact on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons. NAPF and its youth initiative, Reverse The Trend (RTT), are interested in organizing a panel/orientation at NYU that will prepare its students to become active and informed on the Third Meeting of States Parties (3MSP) to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We aim to provide these students with the foundational knowledge concerning the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons. This can allow them to engage with other academics, and their peers in a knowledgeable and informed manner. Attendees will understand the TPNW and humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons more thoroughly after our NYU event. This will allow them to participate in further conferences regarding this treaty. Leading diplomats and third and fourth-generation survivors of the use and testing of nuclear weapons will interact with themselves and the students. By fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment, NAPF and RTT aim to equip students with the necessary resources to understand the complexities of the 3MSP and understand the importance of nuclear disarmament.
Sponsors: Indonesia, NAPF, RTT South and Southeast Asia, and Youth for TPNW
NAPF, RTT’s South and Southeast Asia Chapter, and Youth for the TPNW are planning a side event on the psychological and long-term effects of nuclear weapons, especially for vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly and fostering dialogue and cooperating to create a pathway for justice and reconciliation within the context of the ASEAN region.
This event directly builds upon our previous ASEAN workshop, which was spearheaded by youth from the region and co-sponsored by Thailand and Malaysia respectively. Given the growing proliferation of nuclear weapons near the ASEAN region (India, Pakistan, China, and North Korea are a few examples) it is pertinent to highlight ASEAN as a model for non-proliferation efforts.
