Non-Proliferation
Non-proliferation refers to efforts aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and their associated technology. The main goal is to ensure that only a limited number of countries possess nuclear arms, thereby reducing the risk of nuclear conflict and promoting global security. Key agreements, such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), play a crucial role in these efforts by establishing a framework for disarmament and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Countries that are part of non-proliferation initiatives commit to not developing or acquiring nuclear weapons. In return, they receive support for peaceful nuclear technology and cooperation in various fields. This collaborative approach helps to foster trust among nations and encourages dialogue on disarmament and security issues.
