Tlatelolco Treaty

The Tlatelolco Treaty, officially called the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean, was adopted in 1967 to prevent nuclear arms in the region. It prohibits the testing, manufacturing, acquisition, or deployment of nuclear weapons within Latin America and the Caribbean countries, promoting regional peace and security. The treaty aims to prevent nuclear proliferation and foster peaceful use of nuclear technology, establishing that these nations will not develop or acquire nuclear weapons, thereby contributing to global non-proliferation efforts.
