Arms Control and Disarmament

Arms control and disarmament involve efforts to manage and reduce the number and types of weapons, particularly nuclear, chemical, and biological arms, to promote global security. Arms control sets agreements to limit or regulate weapons to prevent an arms race and ensure safety, while disarmament aims for the total elimination of certain categories of weapons. These processes help reduce the risk of conflict, promote stability, and build trust among countries, contributing to international peace. They involve negotiations, treaties, and verification measures to ensure commitments are upheld.
