RSF’23: Episode 3: The alliance of sanctioned nations: impact and implications #RSF2023

Join us for our third Riga Security Forum discussion: "The alliance of sanctioned nations: impact and implications". Featuring distinguished experts: Dr. Arkady Moshes, Programme Director at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs and Dr. Ian Anthony, Research Analyst at the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI). The discussion is moderated by Dr. Karlis Bukovskis.

This discussion will focus on the concept of a "Coalition of the Sanctioned" – the countries that have been put under sanctions list by the European Union and the United States and who are seeking to collaborate among themselves. Countries like Iran and North Korea seem to be looking for a partnership with Russia. Hence, the goal of the discussion is to investigate how successful and strong these partnerships among the countries of the "coalition of the sanctioned" could become.

The project is the result of a successful cooperation between the Latvian Institute of International Affairs, the NATO Public Diplomacy Division, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Baltic States, the Embassies of the United States, Poland, Canada, Spain as well as international provider of defence, security and aviation life cycle support services and technology solutions “Patria”, Riga Graduate School of Law and 5G Techritory forum.
