In a thought-provoking episode, Oscar Mike Radio recently featured Charles Moxley, an attorney and Fordham Law professor specializing in nuclear weapons law. Professor Moxley tackles the complex issue of nuclear deterrence and mutually assured destruction (MAD), often seen as a safeguard against nuclear conflict. However, Moxley challenges this conventional view, arguing that it promotes a dangerous readiness to use nuclear weapons rather than preventing their use.
In March 2024, Moxley published his latest book, Comprehensive Study of the Law Concerning the Threat and Use of Nuclear Weapons, where he emphasized the critical need for a more robust legal framework to manage these global risks. He contends that law can play a key role in shaping policies that deter nuclear threats in a more structured and controlled way. The episode ends with a powerful call to action, encouraging deeper engagement with the legal aspects of nuclear weapons to mitigate their dangers.

Thank you, Professor, for talking with me and sharing this unique perspective about the role law plays in humanity’s survival.
