Dismantling the concept of 'weapons of mass destruction.'

Article Abstract:

Efforts toward international arms control have successfully limited the number and usage of weapons of mass destruction. The bilateral agreements between the US and Russia, the implementation of various treaties affecting the manufacture, use and transportation of nuclear weapons as well as the interventions of the different heads of state have effectively reduced the number of nuclear weapons. The 1925 Geneva Protocol, the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention and the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention explicitly prohibit the use and manufacture of biological and chemical weapons.

NATO proposes lower CFE ceilings not requiring actual force cuts

Article Abstract:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has issued new proposals for heavy weapons reduction in a revised Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE). Under the CFE treaty agreement NATO does not have to reduce its holding of treaty limited equipment. NATO hopes to establish a buffer region in Central Europe in an attempt to appease Russia over the organization's proposed expansion.
