Dr. Hans Blix and Secretary George P. Shultz discuss the importance for the world's powers to look at issues of nuclear nonproliferation and security as pieces of the same puzzle.
For more than forty years, Dr. Hans Blix has worked on issues involving global disarmament. He currently serves as Chair of the Swedish government’s Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction, but is perhaps best-known for his role as the chief U.N. inspector in search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz has recently co-authored a series of essays in The Wall Street Journal advocating for a world free of nuclear weapons.
