Details

In Disarmament: Under International Law , John Kierulf examines and discusses how disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation of both conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction are regulated in existing treaties and conventions.

From his perspective as a former disarmament negotiator, Kierulf explains the United Nations' disarmament machinery and procedures, and describes the UN's essential role in promoting disarmament. Underlining the continued and serious threat posed by nuclear weapons, Kierulf appeals for greater, more effective international efforts to reduce their number and ultimately eliminate them.

Presenting information and analysis on a comprehensive range of issues, Disarmament: Under International Law is an essential guide for anyone interested in the current state of international security.
