Into the New Year

Hey All,

As the conference slowly approaches, (and we can no longer ignore our responsibilities to keep on top of research-related commitments) it is worthwhile to look at some of the notable events of 2009 towards the topic of nuclear diplomacy. The IAEA has put together a "Year in Review" that is a great place to look at some of the big stories from the last year, and gives a taste for international strategies in dealing with nuclear issues. Take a look here http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/News/2009/year_in_review.html

Remember, the blogs are helpful tools for starting points to research, but they are not the only resources delegates are expected to consult. Try to stay up to date with news so that relevent, contemporary examples can be used in debate.
