Treaties establishing nuclear-weapon-free zones
ID: treaties-establishing-nuclear-weapon-free-zones
Treaties establishing nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZs) are international agreements that create specific regions where the development, testing, deployment, and possession of nuclear weapons are prohibited. These treaties serve to promote global peace, security, and non-proliferation of nuclear arms by creating designated areas where states collectively agree not to acquire nuclear weapons. The establishment of NWFZs is seen as a way to enhance regional security, prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and promote disarmament.
