Ayma Naseem attended a 3-day conference, 'Disarmament from the Margins,' hosted by the Glasgow Centre for International Law and Security. The event brought together scholars and activists to examine how voices outside traditional halls of power can reshape disarmament. 

Discussions reframed disarmament and arms control as issues of power, justice and resistance, rather than technical or legal domains. Panels explored the influence of marginalised states, non-state actors, informal multilateral mechanisms and digital activism in advancing accountability for arms transfers and violations of international law. Contributions from Indigenous, feminist, and postcolonial perspectives underscored the ethical and humanitarian imperatives of reducing or banning weapons that inflict mass destruction or disproportionate civilian harm. Universities and research centres were als​​o recognised as key sites for anti-militarist engagement. 

The conference concluded with a field visit to Loch Lomond, Faslane Naval Base and the Faslane Peace Camp, which offered attendees firsthand insight into Scotland’s anti-nuclear activism and its enduring legacy.
