In 2016, Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition, Nagasaki University (RECNA) decided to establish a “Panel on Peace and Security of Northeast Asia (PSNA)”, following a policy proposal, “A Comprehensive Approach to A Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (NEA-NWFZ)” in March, 2015. PSNA is an independent group of experts from various countries especially in Northeast Asia, and its primary mission is to facilitate political processes, through timely policy recommendations and public engagement, to create a NEA-NWFZ as part of establishing peace and security in the region. The 1st phase of PSNA (2016-2021) ended in 2021, and now the second phase of PSNA2 (2022-2025) has started with new younger and more diversified members, continuing the original missions set out by original PSNA.
