UNIDIR Space Security Conference: Supporting Diplomacy: Clearing the Path for Dialogue

The United Nation's Institute for Disarmament Research's (UNIDIR) Space Security Conference series has proved to be an invaluable forum for policy dialogue and an effective vehicle for informing international space and security policy perspectives. The 2019 conference, entitled "Supporting Diplomacy: Clearing the Path for Dialogue," was organized by UNIDIR in collaboration with the Secure World Foundation, Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (with funding from the European Union), and The Simons Foundation Canada, plus it was organized with the support of the governments of Brazil, the Holy See, the People's Republic of China, and the Russian Federation.
