It may be our ultimate goal to eliminate all the weapons of mass destruction on the earth. However, a worldwide ban on them isn’t an attainable goal.
First, the weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, serve as a deterrent against war. Everyone knows that nuclear war means the end of the world. Hence, no one wants to attack the countries which have nuclear weapons. Accordingly, many countries want to protect themselves by having nuclear weapons.
Second, some countries want to increase their presence through the weapons of mass destruction. One example is North Korea. Its supreme leader Kim Jong-un continues developing the weapons in order to force foreign countries to lift sanctions against North Korea.
Third, terrorists who want to have the weapons of mass destruction may not agree on the ban on them. Basically, it is the government that signs on a ban treaty. Terrorist groups don’t care about the treaties. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to force the terrorist groups to give up all the weapons of mass destruction.
In conclusion, in today’s world, a worldwide ban on weapons of mass destruction isn’t a realistic objective. Still, we should strive to decrease the number of them in order to make the world more peaceful.
