Current work

An important emphasis of the DHA[1] project’s work in 2007 is to communicate its research findings to multilateral practitioners. As one element of these efforts, the DHA[1] project created the Disarmament Insight initiative with the Geneva Forum.[2] This initiative is prompting constructive and creative engagement in the multilateral disarmament community through a range of activities including workshops and online resources building on the previous respective work of both DHA[1] and the Geneva Forum.[2]

The DHA[1] project is supported by the Governments of Norway and the Netherlands.
