Conventional Arms Control

Conventional arms control involves agreements between countries to manage the production, deployment, and use of standard weapons such as tanks, aircraft, and artillery, to reduce the risk of armed conflict. These treaties aim to promote transparency, limit arms buildup, and prevent escalation by establishing rules and verification measures. By controlling these weapons, nations work to maintain stability, enhance security, and avoid costly arms races, fostering trust and cooperation without restricting a country’s right to defense within agreed limits.
