The Western group of countries which caucused on disarmament issues in New York and Geneva under Canadian chairmanship was for many years known as the Barton Group in recognition of William Barton\u2019s role as the inaugural chair. While ambassador to the United Nations in New York Mr. Barton served as President of the UN Security Council when it became Canada\u2019s turn. He retired in 1980 and received the Order of Canada in 1994 for his diplomatic role in enhancing Canada\u2019s position and stature internationally. The Barton Chair was established to enhance the teaching of, and research into, arms control and disarmament issues, a subject dear to William Barton\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n\n\n    \n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--grey ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl bg-cu-black-50 max-w-screen-2xl mx-auto rounded-xl px-6 py-5 md:px-14 md:py-12 md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                            \n\n\n<header class=\"mb-6 cu-pageheader cu-component-updated md:mb-12\">\n    <h2 id=\"award\" class=\"cu-prose-first-last font-semibold !mt-2 mb-4 md:mb-6 relative text-2xl md:text-3xl lg:text-4xl lg:leading-[3rem] pb-4 after:w-8 after:absolute after:h-px after:bottom-0 after:bg-cu-red after:left-px\">\n        Award\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <\/header>\n        \n        <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-2 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n            \n\n    <div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n        \n        \n            <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n                \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        Barton Award in Disarmament, Arms Control, and Non-Proliferation\n    <\/h2>\n\n            <\/header>\n\n\n                            <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6\">\n                                \n\n                                    <p class=\"text-base text-cu-black-700\">\n                        Mr. Barton dedicated his life to international peace and security and to the betterment of Canada.
