Conference observation of our association at the MSC 2026
Dr. Inga Blum (Co-President IPPNW) and Natalia Jagolski (Junior Lecturer, Leiden University) will be our observers at the MSC this year.
New as observer: Dr. Inga Blum
As Co-President of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), I am very pleased to be an observer at the Munich Security Conference this year. My focus is on the growing risk of nuclear war, which is fueled by the current wars and conflicts and the armament of all nuclear weapon states.
How will the topic be discussed at the MSC? Are there any ideas for risk reduction and new arms control? How is the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons assessed, which focuses on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and is already supported by over 70% of the international community?
I would like to discuss this with conference participants and specifically establish contacts with whom we can continue to work to strengthen humanitarian disarmament.
New as observer: Natalia Jagolski
As a Junior Lecturer in Security Studies at Leiden University and as an advocate for the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda (YPS), I experience that security is perceived as a topic that is too serious to involve young people. At the same time, expectations are growing that the young generation should take responsibility for national defense.
Both as a youth observer at the Peacekeeping Ministerial and Young Peacebuilder at the 2nd EU YPS Conference, the practical implementation of youth participation and meeting as equals remain a challenge. In times in which the rules-based international order is being questioned and the concept of security is increasingly defined militarily, it is therefore all the more important to promote generation-equitable approaches to peace and security.
I am therefore curious to see how this paradigm shift will be reflected at the MSC, and I hope that young people will be taken seriously as peace actors.
As MSKv, we are already very excited about the reports from our conference observers. Please make a note of the date and location: Review of the MSC 2026
