Disarmament and Arms Control

Disarmament and arms control are efforts to manage and reduce the number of weapons, especially dangerous ones like nuclear arms, to promote security and prevent conflict. Disarmament aims for the complete elimination of certain weapons, while arms control involves agreements to limit the buildup, stockpiling, or use of these weapons. Both practices seek to create a safer world by encouraging transparency, negotiation, and compliance among nations, reducing the risks of war and accidents. They are essential tools in maintaining international stability and promoting peaceful coexistence.
