UN's Volker Türk calls for a new 'Reykjavík moment'

Original: Volker Türk: We need another "Reykjavík moment"

Volker Türk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, has called for another 'Reykjavík moment', invoking the 1986 summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that became a turning point for dialogue and disarmament at the height of the Cold War. He is urging today's world leaders to pursue the same kind of bold diplomacy at a time of rising global tension.

Why now: Growing international conflicts and nuclear risk have renewed calls for the kind of superpower-style diplomacy seen at the 1986 Reykjavík summit.
