Nuclear Weapons have been a central problem to international securtity since their use in 1945. The pledge “No First Use” is made by countries that want to state that they will not use nuclear weapons aggressivley, and only in retaliation when other countries launch nuclear weapons at them. This pledge has long been debated by countries to be a possiblee solution that reduces tensions between countries which have nuclear arsenals. Nuclear Disarmament, has been central to the United Nations, since the organization has been trying to get countries to remove the nukes that they have in their arsenals. The UN tried to mitigat tensions with the NPT treaty, which largely reduced the number of countries that can get nuclear arsenals. The Federation of Malaysia advocates strongly for Nuclear disarmament, and consistently avoided having nuclear weapons and has instated NFU policies.
Malaysia has a clear stance on Nuclear Weapons, which is to end them. Although Malaysia is not directly under threat by a nuclear arsenal, the potential consequences from a nuclear war would affect all nations around the world, even the ones farther away from a conflict zone. Because of this, malysia strongly advocates against nuclear proliferation and believes that their disarmment is necessary for the security of mankind. Malaysia has actively worked on prohibiting Nuclear waepons, one way it did was by signing on to the TPNW treaty ( Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons). Malaysia strongly believes that all countries must adopt NFU policuies in order to have a secure future in which future generations aare not affected by nuclear weapons and international security is upheld and our planet does not get destroyed.
Looking foreward, Malaysia strongly believes that NFU policies and Nuclear Disarmament are the solutions t o ending Nuclear Weapons. Malaysia prippes the creation of new treaties that can please as many countries as possible, but inthe end cause Nuclear Weapons to be subtituted to less devastationg weapons of wra. Although Nuclear WEapons can be argued to help a nation’s security, it also true that their use can destroy multiple nations, and eventually the entire world. By combining the adoption of No First Use policies and the gradual reduction of nuclear stockpiles, the international community can take more steps into eventually becoming a nuke free world.
