How to stop the spread of WMD: Nuclear Weapons and other weapons of mass destruction
(In progress, book and title)
Since the first Atomic bomb exploded at Hiroshima on August 5, 1945, the leading governments of the world, in their struggle for power, have spent billions of dollars for research, production, and implementation of bigger and stronger weapons of mass destruction.
The book challenges the current way of thinking in solving world problems by threats, coercive diplomacy, and waging wars for the seizure of power. In the absence of a visible enemy, it also sees the trend of developing new generation of nuclear weapons, national missile defence (Star Wars) and deploying weapons in space as misguided. It prompts other countries to step up their production of military hardware, entering into a global arms race, leading to tensions hostilities, and eventual destruction of the planet.
It offers an alternative holistic path to international peace and security, by offering a change of relationships in which unconscionable poverty, peace and security depend on universal adherence and respect for human rights, including economic, social and cultural rights as well as civil rights.
