Nuclear Weapon-Free Zones as a New Deterrent?
Sawers, Janene
United States Institute of Peace, April 2010, online edition, 5p
"Parties to Nuclear-Weapon Free Zones continually point out that the zones are created for security reasons, not for moral righteousness or in the spirit of idealism. The establishment of zones is a new security posture that endeavors to keep nuclear weapons away from their areas of the world. They function under the assumption that more nuclear weapons make the world inherently less safe and demonstrate that countries do not need nuclear weapons to be safe from attack."
