Welcome

Greetings!

The powers that be have decided to enforce a stricter internet-based pedagogy this year, so these blogs will (ideally) become a more useful tool. With that in mind, the DISEC committee is hoping that delegates will be dilligent about keeping up to date on relevent world events that pertain to the topics at hand.

Aside from regular sources of news, the International Atomic Energy Association (IEAE) keeps an excellent record of important events related to nuclear material, diplomacy and world events. The 'News Center' and 'Daily Press Review' are both excellent sections to find up to date information on this topic. They can be found at http://www.iaea.org/

The Arctic Militarization topic will also likely find its way into local news, but don't hesitate to look at less conventional sources. This article from GlobalResearch provides an introductory insight to some of the main issues and key players. It is a good starting point for further research http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6586

More to come, so please check in periodically.

Cheers,

The DISEC team.
