If, as we review the nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty today, we take a really close look, we will have to see that the record is a downright shameful one, for, since it was signed, no fewer nuclear weapons have been dispersed around the world, but rather significantly more of them, and that cannot be attributable to the signatory states, or some of their number, taking this treaty seriously, for the very opposite is the case.
Si nous examinons de très près le traité de non-prolifération des armes nucléaires dont nous débattons aujourd’hui, nous verrons que le bilan est tout simplement honteux. En effet, depuis que le traité a été ratifié, le nombre d’armes nucléaires dispersées à travers le monde n’a pas baissé, au contraire.
