Nuclear
proliferation as per se Treatise of
Nonproliferation of Nuclear weapons is a term used to describe the spread
of fissile material and nuclear weapon related information to the countries not
categorized as ‘Nuclear weapon states’ according to the NPT and CTBT. However
the mere definition and policy does not constraints its integrity and the
subject becomes notingly interesting when it is observed that countries/parties
that enjoy a veto in the UN Security Council also enjoy playing figs with the
international laws and treatise and thus contributing to a pessimistic momentum
to the international nonproliferation treaty in Asia, however it has strived to
become an acceptable trend among International Community. Apart from the
aforesaid aspects of nuclear safety and its civil uses there are certain
aspects of this panel that interests the writer including, (1) the relationship
between the Nuclear weapon states and those states that are not the member of
such treatise, can become a motivation for the development of another
relationship, not recognized legally by international nonproliferation regime,
among the third party countries and may straightforward ignore international
pressure and laws. An Example of this being is US- India Energy relationship. (2)
Major global developments and policy
reviews that affects nuclear security and mutual confidence among nations
towards a more secure Asia and the entire international community. For instance
the United States nuclear posture review both of 2002 and 2010 that included
the components for the use of nuclear weapons against many Asian countries and
thus poses strategic threat among Asian nations towards the development of
stable nuclear order in Asia.India has been allowed the NSG waiver, in spite of being a non-member of NPT, because of its past records of nonproliferation and voluntary adoption of NFU’s. This calls for other NPT non parties for a more transparent and less secretive bilateral agreements to develop a sense of mutual confidence in international community.
