Arms Control Treaty

An Arms Control Treaty is an agreement between countries aimed at limiting or regulating the development, production, stockpiling, and deployment of weapons. These treaties can cover various types of arms, including nuclear, chemical, and conventional weapons. The goal is to enhance global security, reduce the risk of armed conflict, and promote trust among nations. By establishing rules and oversight mechanisms, these treaties help prevent arms races and encourage disarmament, ultimately striving for a safer world. Examples include the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START).
