Abstract of the Talk
A world
free of nuclear weapons would be a desirable end-objective. However,
there are apprehensions that even if all nuclear weapons are eliminated,
such an achievement would be short lived. This presentation seeks to
outline the components (political and technical) of such a verification
regime which could possibly help in preventing (re)acquisition of
nuclear weapons capability. By increasing confidence levels among state
parties about compliance by all, verification would in essence sustain a
nuclear weapons free world once such a situation is realised.
