Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

India 's nuclear programme started on March 1944 and its three-stage efforts in technology were established by Dr. Homi Bhabha when he founded the nuclear research centre, the Institute of Fundamental Research. Bhabha drew up the blue print of the nuclear energy programme in India. Based on early geological surveys, he decided that the vast deposits of thorium in the monazite sands of Kerala could be harnessed for securing India’s long-term energy needs. Thorium is particularly attractive for…

state in the late 70s’. -The fright of a possible nuclear war became almost routine-like for both nations, especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) -Earlier agreements on Arms Control: o The Limited Test Ban Treaty (1963) -> the first arms control agreement of the Cold War -Détente (formal agreements on arms control): o The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) 1968 -> an agreement…

alliances and treaties. Constructivism argues that interstate conflict is due to nationalism. Norms, identity, and ideas can cause conflict. An example of this is…

Nuclear Energy The atoms, otherwise known as the building blocks of anything and everything, possess an incredible amount of energy that we are able, to an extent, harness. The splitting of an atom (uranium in particular) is known as nuclear fission, and is the current process used to create energy by heating up water in order to produce steam, which in turn spins turbines and generates electricity. This vast amount of energy produced can be used to power entire countries, and has many…

conflict by peaceful means.” -President Reagan. Sometimes the best way to make a point is by using the words of someone else. President Obama was well aware of this in his speech about the new Iran nuclear deal. The reason for Obama giving this speech was simple; he wanted to define the new Iran nuclear deal and convince the people that congress should vote affirmative. President Obama structured his speech much like that of a debate in which he takes the affirmative side. However, Obama was…

Last Resort for Survival: North Korea’s Nuclear Program North Korea’s nuclear program poses a threat to South Korea, one country amongst multiple other neighboring Southeast Asian nations targeted by the socialist regime. Despite pressure and resource withdrawal from North Korea as attempts to stop the program’s development, the country continues to expand its nuclear program despite its initially already poor economy. Tensions between major powers, such as the U.S., Japan, and South Korea…

War Two. The United States were creating nuclear and atomic bombs and weapons, more specifically the Manhattan Project. Canada supplied the United States military with the uranium necessary for the weapons construction. Canada refined and processed the uranium for the use of it in United States military in 1942. Uranium is a key ingredient in creating a nuclear bomb and/or reactor. Split uranium atoms are highly radioactive which is what causes a nuclear bomb to go off. The uranium found in…

(1) Self-determination A group within a state does not have a right to become a new state, even if the majority of its inhabitants desire that. Because of the lack of express provisions in international treaties, the sovereignty of a state is based on the right to dispose a state’s territory. If a group within a state has a right to become a new state if the majority of its inhabitants desire that, there will be a violation of a nation’s sovereignty rights and will cause instability, which…

The Cuban Missile Crisis triggered a series of treaties to be agreed upon throughout the years of 1961-1979, which had a major calming effect on international relations. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the major treaties signed were based around nuclear disarmament or limitations, the first of those being the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963. “The treaty was a small but significant step toward the control of nuclear weapons. In the years to come, discussions between the United States and the…

contents of Principles of International Commercial Contracts were drawn by the UNIDROIT from commercial customary laws. Thirdly, the general principle is seldom mentioned in legal practice. Principles are usually used to make up the mistakes of the treaties and customs on a certain case. The Article 38 (2) of the Statute of International Court of Justice introduced the ex aequo et bono principle to the judgement. Subsidiary sources include the judicial decisions and the writings of the most…
