'There is an urgent need to restore nuclear diplomacy and strengthen international controls on nuclear arms.'
"There is an urgent need to restore nuclear diplomacy and strengthen international controls on nuclear arms."A leading international think tank said Monday that the world is"drifting into one of the most dangerous periods in human history" as nuclear-armed countries continue adding to their stockpiles, with the total number of operational weapons of mass destruction growing last year.
While"the sizes of their respective nuclear arsenals seem to have remained relatively stable in 2022," the think tank noted,"transparency regarding nuclear forces declined in both countries in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022." Nuclear-armed nations also collectively possess thousands of retired warheads that are awaiting dismantlement. The total worldwide inventory of nuclear weapons, including retired and operational arms, was 12,512 at the beginning of this year.
"Global reductions of operational warheads appear to have stalled," the think tank observed,"and their numbers are rising again."
