A panel discussion of experts will discuss peaceful and effective responses to the Iranian nuclear program.
Please note that due to severe weather conditions, the event has been postponed until Tuesday, February 16th.
Discussion will revolve around the following questions:
How can we best enforce our own obligations and those of others--in particular the Islamic Republic of Iran--on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament?
What are the prospects under present conditions for a distinctly U.S.-Iranian dialogue on regional Middle Eastern and nuclear issues, and if so, how could such dialogue be promoted by civil society, NGO's, and interfaith communities?
Are there prospects for serious dialogue among the U.S., Iran, Israel, and other Middle East states on a regional solution to the nuclear threat?
Rev. Dr. Bob Edgar, CEO of Common Cause, will moderate a panel discussion including Dr. Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), Dr. Craig Eisendrath, Chairman of the Project for Nuclear Awareness, Dr. Ivan Oelrich, Vice President of the Strategic Security Program at the Federation of American Scientists, and Dr. Jim Walsh, Research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Security Studies Program, and Genieve Abdo, Liaison for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations.
