The International Disarmament Institute is an academic center at Pace University in New York City, housed within the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Political Science. It focuses on education and research related to global disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation policymaking. The Institute addresses humanitarian, human rights, and security challenges posed by weapons of mass destruction, conventional arms, emerging technologies, and militarization. It also serves as a “Track Two” convening space for diplomats, advocates, scholars, and practitioners.

There is an important article from the international disarment institute news on Kiribati in Oceania , which you can read here, that addresses the humanitarian, human rights, and environmental harm caused by nuclear weapons tests at Kiritimati (Christmas Island) and Malden Island:
