How to rid the world of nuclear weapons?
The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which went into force in 1970 and was extended indefinitely in 1995, was designed to prevent the spread of nuclear arms with the end goal of complete nuclear disarmament.
According to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, more than 16,000 nuclear warheads remain in the possession of nine nations, including the United States, Russia, Britain, France, China, India and Pakistan.
The US holds the largest nuclear arsenals in the world. Washington is reportedly planning to spend more than USD 1 trillion to modernize its nuclear weapons over the next three decades.
Although all the five permanent members of the UN Security Council have agreed to the eradication of nuclear weapons, a specific timeline has yet to be proposed.
This is while the Israeli regime, widely believed to possess between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenals, refuses to either allow inspections of its nuclear facilities or join the NPT.
