Counter-Proliferation

Counter-proliferation refers to efforts by governments and organizations to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear, chemical, or biological arms. This includes international treaties, monitoring, and enforcement measures to stop the development or transfer of these dangerous weapons to unauthorized parties—like rogue states or terrorist groups. The goal is to enhance global security by reducing the risk of these weapons falling into wrong hands, thereby preventing potential conflicts, disasters, or terrorism fueled by their use. Counter-proliferation is a vital part of international security and non-proliferation efforts.
