Disarmament treaties are agreements between countries aimed at reducing or eliminating specific types of weapons, such as nuclear arms or chemical weapons. These treaties help promote peace and security by limiting the number of dangerous weapons that nations can possess. For example, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) encourages countries to work towards disarmament and prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. Countries negotiate these treaties to build trust and cooperation, often involving international organizations like the United Nations. By committing to disarmament, nations can focus on diplomatic solutions to conflicts rather than relying on military power, ultimately fostering a safer world for everyone.
