Irma Arguello

Irma Arguello is an international security expert from Argentina. She founded and chairs the Nonproliferation for Global Security Foundation, (NPSGlobal), a private, non-profit initiative oriented to help reduce risks derived from the proliferation and use of armaments, with a special emphasis on weapons of mass destruction. The organization is also devoted to building up adequate and opportune responses to such threats at all levels, in order to increase global security.

She has undertaken work on creating links among different international fields to carry forward the ideas that inspired the organization, especially the vision of a more secure world, without the so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction. Towards that end, she led the Foundation to the development and design of several strategies, proposals and actions devoted to fulfill its institutional objectives. Under her pioneer leadership, the NPSGlobal Foundation became a non-governmental voice in this field, from Latin America to the world.
