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.

1. Arms control

   Arms control is a term for restrictions upon the development, production, stockpiling, proliferation, and usage of weapons, especially 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. On a national or community level, arms control can amount to programs to control the access of private citizens to weapons. This is often referred to as gun politics, as firearms are the primary focus of such efforts in most places.

Examples of arms control in a Sentence

1. Chris Ford:

   I always supported looking at this possibility. But it was also my position from the outset that until we had actually vetted AVC’s [ Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance’s ] particular scientific allegations of WIV origin with real scientists, we shouldn't voice them in public, do demarches, or find China in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention over SARS-CoV-2. It was irresponsible of AVC to try to run with this before ascertaining whether its scientific claims could survive scrutiny, that's why I insisted upon vetting.

2. Victoria Nuland:

3. Lynn Rusten:

   We are heading into a direction we have not been in in 40 years : no arms control limits or rules that we are both following and that is very dangerous.

4. Heino Klinck:

   If you look at Secretary Blinken's recent speech, obviously, the administration is looking where possible for opportunities to cooperate [with China], i think even if anopportunity for some sort of cooperative arms control agreement isunrealistic ... it should be part of standard American talking points when engaging with the Chinese.

5. Mike Pompeo:

   While the United States, along with our Allies and partners that are States Parties to the treaty, have lived up to our commitments and obligations under the treaty, Russia has flagrantly and continuously violated the treaty in various ways for years, this is not a story exclusive to just the treaty on Open Skies, unfortunately, for Russia has been a serial violator of many of its arms control obligations and commitments.
