Nuclear-weapon-free zones: coming of age?

Article Abstract:

The nuclear-weapon-free-zone (NFWZ) is a nonproliferation strategy with significant international impact in terms of regulating the spread and elimination of nuclear weapons. The Treaty of Tlateloco defines the nonproliferation conditions applicable to Latin American nations while the Treaty of Rarotonga provides the guidelines for the elimination of the nuclear threat in the South Pacific regions. The NFWZ are valuable measures because they provide an alternative for governments who refuse to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty because of perceived discriminatory practices.
