SAN RAMON, Calif. - PennZone -- Dougherty Valley High School senior, Shiven Aggarwal, has released his debut e-book, Global Disarmament and Transforming the Next Generation. This thought-provoking work delves into the complex world of global arms control, military ethics, and the urgent need for disarmament in an increasingly volatile international landscape.

Aggarwal's book offers a unique perspective, drawing on insights from interviews with renowned global leaders and United Nations (UN) officials, including Binalakshmi Nepram, founder of the Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network, and Dr. Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, Associate Professor at Sciences Po, Paris.

"I want my generation to champion sustainable peace through diplomacy, dialogue, and policy reform," says Aggarwal, emphasizing his commitment to a more secure future.

By examining pre-conflict, in-conflict, and post-conflict disarmament strategies, Aggarwal provides actionable frameworks for addressing pressing issues such as nuclear arms reduction, the humanitarian impact of conventional arms, and the ethical dilemmas posed by emerging autonomous weapons technologies. The book also highlights the role of the UN and other global organizations in promoting disarmament, including the #Youth4Disarmament Initiative and Sustainable Development Goal 16 on peace and justice.
