In a statement titled “Shrinking the Zone of Confrontation and Competition: Principles for Euro-Atlantic Security and the Global Nuclear Order,” Euro-Atlantic Security Leadership Group (EASLG) co-conveners Des Browne, Wolfgang Ischinger, Ernest J. Moniz, and Sam Nunn and 50 dignitaries from 14 countries call for the re-establishment of basic principles relating to security and nuclear order. The group puts forth seven such principles that could provide a foundation for officials and experts to re-engage and eventually make progress towards shrinking the zone of confrontation and competition, reducing nuclear risks, and building mutual security.
