DOHA: A recent workshop on weapons of mass destruction brought together students from Qatar University College of Law and Georgetown University School of Foreign Service Qatar (SFS-Q).
The 5th Weapons of Mass Destruction Awareness Workshop was held at Qatar University (QU), under the patronage of Chief of Staff of Qatari Armed Forces Major General Pilot Ghanim bin Shaheen Al Ghanim. It was sponsored by National Committee for the Prohibition of Weapons (NCPW).
It aimed to orient students on Qatar’s efforts to implement and execute tasks and responsibilities emanating from the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 of 2004 and conventions regarding non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
It featured sessions moderated by NCPW Member Abdellatif Ali Al Abdulla.
Presenters from the committee were Secretary-General First Lieutenant Abulaziz Hamdan Al Ahmad, Radiation Expert Dr Salwan Kamal Aboud, and members Dr Ahmed Hassan Al Hamadi and Engineer Sultan Jassem Al Mouslemani; and SFS-Q Senior Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs Dr Henrick Barth.
Students learned about the committee’s goals and achievements, issues surrounding weapons of mass destruction, Biological Weapons Convention of 1975, Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997, UN Security Council Decision 1540 of 2004, and measures adopted in the Conventions and the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1970.
NCPW Chairman Major General Staff (Pilot) Nasser Mohammed Al Ali said: “We believe in the necessity of cooperation and integration between universities and the committee for the prohibition of weapons to cover weapons of mass destruction treaties along with their academic and applied aspects to reach a safe world free of these deadly weapons. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with universities and scientific research centres in the fields of training and awareness.”
The workshop follows an agreement signed between QU and NCPW on this May 10 which will provide opportunities for college students to engage on the issue through training workshops, internships, debates, participation in conferences and other forums, and awareness campaigns.
