The Chairman of the conference, Boniface G. Chidyausiku, Ambassador of Zimbabwe, released the draft recommendations for next year’s Review Conference. These will be discussed during the next week and a final document will be released at the end of the PrepCom.

During the last days we interviewed many delegates and uploaded the interviews on our homepage.

The website is now up to date and you can find new features on it!

The agenda for 2010 has been adopted!

The agenda of the NPT Conference is the program for next years RevCom. Over the last years, it became more and more important. There had not been much hope that the states representatives would adopt it so quickly. Therefore it was a big surprise when on Wednesday, May 6th, after only three days of the beginning of the PrepCom, the news went through the UN-Headquarter’s corridors that this year the delegations seem to be much more willing to negotiate.

When we think of the NPT RevCon 2005, where it took about three weeks until the delegates accepted the agenda, then it becomes clear to us, how important it is that the agenda for 2010 is already agreed upon and the more important, substantial work can begin.

Our website is finally online, and we’re excited to bring you live reports from the 2009 PrepCom in New York!

Starting today, we’ll be posting interviews with diplomats and NGOs on everything concerning the 2009 PrepCom, the nuclear disarmament regime in general and underlying issues, live from New York. We will be uploading them every day freshly from New York and you can browse through them by date, topic or person.
Also, be sure to check out the “Features” section often, that’s where we’ll be gathering videos by topic so you can get all the relevant information on the issues that shape the negotiations around here.

The preparations are still going on. Texts for the homepage have to be written, videotaping and camera work have to be practiced in order to produce the best videos possible and give you a good insight into the the conference proceedings.

We’re excited to be here, and we hope your work will benefit from ours!

Your NPT TV Team.
