stability and future of the GNO? (15 Marks, 250 Words)

Approach

Introduction:

Introduce by giving the historical background of the Global Nuclear Order (GNO).
Body:

Positive impact of GNO:
» The taboo against nuclear weapons has been held since 1945.
» Humanity has survived 75 years of the nuclear age without blowing itself up.

Failure:
» Nuclear Arsenals Kept Growing: Due to the US-USSR nuclear race, their arsenals grew from 28,000 bombs in 1962 to over 65,000 bombs in the early 1980s.

Impact of changing geopolitics
» Shift from Bipolarity to Multipolarity: The rise of China
» China’s Assertiveness: China has steadily built up its naval and missile capabilities.
» In 2002, the U.S. withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty.
» The remaining agreement, New START, will lapse in 2026.
» Russia de-ratified the CTBT to bring it on a par with the U.S .


Conclusion:
A successful consensus needs to be established among countries as per the new world
order to survive humanity without blowing itself up with nuclear power.
