Nuclear Weapons Reduction
Nuclear weapons reduction refers to efforts aimed at decreasing the number of nuclear weapons in a country's arsenal. This process often involves treaties and agreements between nations, such as the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which seeks to limit the deployment of nuclear warheads and delivery systems. The goal is to enhance global security and reduce the risk of nuclear conflict.
Countries engage in nuclear weapons reduction to promote disarmament and prevent the proliferation of nuclear arms. By reducing their stockpiles, nations aim to build trust and foster international cooperation. Organizations like the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) play crucial roles in monitoring and facilitating these efforts.
