Decades of rabid refusal by nuclear missile powers to fulfill their basic commitment to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) has become a serious cause of concern for the international community.
America is the first producer of the atomic bomb and also infamous for being the first to use atomic bombs in World War II against the Japanese people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The self-proclaimed superpower presently has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and can destroy the planet several times over.
However, like the four other countries that also paradoxically sit on the UN Security Council (Britain, China, France and Russia) and officially possess the weapons of mass destruction, the US refuses to abide by NPT.
The simple truth is that the five powers have never cared to uphold the NPT and are the main culprits when it comes to root cause of violating the universal document and other laws and regulations pertaining to global disarmament.
Based on the NPT, countries possessing nuclear weapons are obliged to destroy their arsenals in the interest of world peace and stability. But several of these powers, Britain and the US in particular, are busy developing a new generation of the banned weapons.
There indeed is a long list of breaches of the NPT by western governments.
One case in point is their unquestionable support for the Zionist regime’s “security“ and its quest for nuclear weapons. The dangerous western backing has contributed, among other things, to Israel now owning more than 200 nuclear warheads and its almost non-stop atrocities against Arab civilians in the occupied lands. No wonder, Israel has emerged as an outlaw state and the biggest source of concern in the strategic region.
It must also be mentioned that America committed another horrendous crime against humanity by utilizing low-enriched uranium (LEU) in the Balkans and the 1991 Persian Gulf War (against Iraq).
Furthermore, most atomic powers despite being clearly in violation of the NPT, seek to create hurdles in cooperation between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its member states, and unilaterally raise the bar when it comes to the transfer of peaceful nuclear technology to developing countries. The most recent case to this effect is the irresponsible and unhelpful policy of the western world vis-ˆ-vis Iran’s civilian nuclear program.
Overt and covert attempts by the US and other nuclear powers to monopolize production of nuclear fuel and deprive the developing countries from gaining access to related technology, are among the catalog of violations of international law by the self-appointed advocates of universal peace and stability.
Even though the IAEA has time and again officially announced that Iran’s nuclear program is clean and without any diversion, and America’s top spy agencies also verified the same last year, western regimes still continue to make loud noises about the nature of Tehran’s declared nuclear agenda and that it poses a “threat“ to global peace and security.
It is time that the truly free world wake up and ask the nuke powers and their war strategists simple questions about their military-nuclear policies that have made the world less, not more, safe.
