Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

released. The public deserves to know the true extent of the North Korean threat. The public was already aware of the fact that the North Koreans sold uranium to Libya and a complete nuclear reactor to Syria. The only new information this document provides is that the North Koreans have now tried to sell full nuclear weapons to some countries. The government argued that release of the information about…

The issue of nuclear weapons in contemporary times is a pressing one. The international community has made efforts to sanction and regulate these weapons. However, North Korea, a hostile, secluded country with a growing nuclear arsenal, has resisted many foreign attempts to sanction their nuclear weapons. Unsanctioned nations with large nuclear arsenals pose a threat to the international community. North Korea is one of these unsanctioned countries, so therefore they pose a threat to world peace…

2011 in support of the elimination of nuclear weapons. This was adopted by 186 national societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) • The HINW initiative began with a conference in Oslo, Norway in March 2013, attended by 128 countries. o The UN agencies addressing the conference were very clear that they would not be able to effectively respond to the humanitarian and environmental catastrophe that would be created by the use of nuclear weapons • Another meeting was held…

Nuclear weapons have been in the world’s possession since 1945, almost 70 years ago. In those 70 years, nuclear bombs were launched twice at the same target—Japan—by the same attacker—the United States. For being used so little times, is it really worth keeping these arms, especially taking in the costs? How do the nuclear deterrence finances affect countries with nuclear weapons? Considering the lack of use for the defenses, it is economically unwise to continue funding the production of…

Cities wiped out in seconds, nuclear fallout that lasts years, and consequences on how we see life today. Ever since their inception we have barely maintained a hold on the reins of a weapon that could wipe out the world. The atomic weapons of the past are but a fraction of the power we now have with hydrogen bombs. Nuclear weapons have shaped society in many ways, in the cold war we lived in constant fear that everything we’ve ever known will be destroyed before we even knew what happened. The…

Nuclear Security: Following policy concerns worries about nuclear proliferation are perhaps the next biggest threat to the development of nuclear energy in Turkey. The crux of the issue is Turkey’s geographical location. Unfortunately, for much of the world Turkey is situated in a “dangerous neighborhood” where nuclear proliferation is a constant fear. Furthermore, Turkey has been depicted as a proliferation domino set to fall in a scenario where Iran develops or acquires nuclear weapons. As the…

underlying assumptions about nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons pose a threat to all life on the planet and future generations need to reduce the number of nuclear weapons to reduce the threat of nuclear war. The conflict is that although the cold war is over the threat of a nuclear attack occurring is still very possible and needs to be corrected. To establish the context the presenter points out that either you or someone you know would be affected if there were a nuclear attack in the United…

In 1944, India started a nuclear program for the purpose of creating nuclear power. But in the 1954 they switched the direction of program into making nuclear weapons. The Indian government reach out to the United States’ government and Canada’s government to help get the supplies and components for a nuclear research reactor. The United States and Canada agreed to the Indian under the idea that they was going to use the reactor for peaceful purposes only. The project was moving steadily forward…

Bernard Lewis also termed the very basis of clerical rule in Iran as its own remedy. Lewis states, “Khomeini during his rule seems to have effected a kind of “Christianization” of Iran’s Islamic institutions, with himself as an infallible pope and with the functional equivalent of a hierarchy of archbishops, bishops and priests. All of this was totally alien to Islamic tradition….It may be that Muslims having contracted a Christian illness, will consider a Christian remedy, that is to say, the…

created with nuclear fission (Hardy and Glen). Nuclear proliferation is the spread of nuclear weapons to nuclear technology to nations that are not recognized as Nuclear Weapon States (Hardy and Glen). Over the last decade, it has been easier for nations to acquire nuclear weapons and build nuclear weapons programs The United States should not support the Global Zero Movement or ratify the…
