Answer» Arms control regulates the acquisition or development of weapons by adopting the following measures: 1. The Anti Ballistic Missiles Treaty in 1992 stopped the US and Soviet Union from using ballistic missiles to limit large-scale production. 2. Other arms control treaties were also signed i.e. Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty and Nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) to limit the weapons which may bring large-scale destruction. 3. NPT regulated the acquisition of nuclear weapons in 1968. 4. NPT did not abolish nuclear weapons rather it a limited number of countries that could have them. |
