Investigating the Aspects of Nuclear Terrorism and Related International Laws

Parisa Konarang

Abstract


Undoubtedly measures to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, if non-discriminatory and universal, will be a fundamental step towards a safer and threat-free world. However, in practice this is not the case, and the powerful governments, and at the top of them, nuclear states, by formulating treaties such as a comprehensive ban on nuclear tests and the prohibition of the production of fissile materials, seek to prevent the proliferation of these weapons and thus to monopolize their weapons. Keep the nuclear. Nuclear governments' efforts and emphasis on countering the proliferation of nuclear weapons instead of a genuine and comprehensive effort to dismantle and completely eliminate nuclear arsenals on the one hand and their widespread efforts to strengthen the Security Council's role in this regard Has made use of its powers under the provisions of the United Nations Charter to non-nuclear-weapon states. Such an approach could be a justification for expanding the interference of major powers in other countries, intensifying the excuse and shaping to prevent non-nuclear states from accessing the materials, equipment and technical know-how necessary for peaceful use of nuclear energy. Finally, it undermines the role of the UN General Assembly as the main body of the United Nations on disarmament issues.
