  1. Arms control

    Arms control is a term for international restrictions upon the development, production, stockpiling, proliferation and usage of small arms, conventional weapons, and weapons of mass destruction. Arms control is typically exercised through the use of diplomacy which seeks to impose such limitations upon consenting participants through international treaties and agreements, although it may also comprise efforts by a nation or group of nations to enforce limitations upon a non-consenting country.

  1. arms control

    Arms control is a broad spectrum of measures that governments or international organizations take to regulate the development, production, testing, acquisition, deployment, and use of weapons. This is often done to prevent or limit the risk of conflicts, promote national or regional stability, reduce military expenditure, prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and protect civilians from unnecessary harm. Arms control refers to both disarmament (the reduction or elimination of a country's weapons), and non-proliferation (the prevention of the spread of weapons to other countries or entities). It often relies on international treaties and agreements that are negotiated and signed by multiple states.
