Non-Nuclear Weapon States
Non-nuclear weapon states are countries that have agreed not to develop, acquire, or possess nuclear weapons, often through international treaties like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). They rely on diplomatic agreements to maintain their security and promote global stability, avoiding the destructive power and risks associated with nuclear arsenals. These nations may possess conventional arms but choose to abstain from nuclear capabilities to prevent escalation, promote disarmament, and encourage peaceful use of nuclear technology for energy or medical purposes.
