Nuclear Test Ban Treaty

The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty is an international agreement aimed at preventing nuclear weapons from being tested in the atmosphere, underwater, or in space. Signed by multiple countries, its goal is to limit the proliferation of nuclear arms and reduce environmental and health risks caused by radioactive explosions. The treaty does not ban underground tests, but it encourages nations to avoid testing altogether to promote global security and stability. It represents a consensus among nations to control nuclear weapons development and curb the arms race.
