| dc.description | The advent of the nuclear age and the development of atomic weapons pose an immediate threat to the very existence of mankind and its civilization. Unlike their conventional counterparts, nuclear weapons, for the first time in human history, are capable of annihilating the entire human race, its civilization and our planet. The purpose of this study is to put forward the argument that global and comprehensive nuclear disarmament is required by the new international law of nuclear disarmament. This legal thesis argues further that a global and comprehensive nuclear disarmament in the Post-Cold War era and in the 21st Century is both feasible and effective. Until the last nuclear weapons have been effectively eliminated, the eventual use of nuclear weapons will not be avoided. Therefore, this study will conclude that the only way to avoid an eventual nuclear holocaust in the post-Cold War era in the 21st Century is to achieve a global and comprehensive nuclear disarmament through the instrumental value of international law. | en_US |
