Prolifercation of Ballistic Missles:
Zimbabwe is a small country in southern africa and like any country is affected by the use of ballistic missles. The UN has addressed the use of missiles as increasingly commonplace weapon choice in war. As this becomes more true, smaller countries like Zimbabwe become more at risk to destruction. Zimbabwe in recent years has signed on to the Treaty of the Prohibitaion of Nuculer weapons on the 4th of december, 2020, where they specificly said that “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”. Before that in 2015-16, Zimbabwe endorsed a “Humanitarian Pledge” which had the goal to get rid of nuclear weapons, which was also endorsed by 126 other states.
One of Zimbabwe’s biggest allies South Africa, got rid of all their ballistic missile creation in 1993, to join the Missile Technology Control Regime. An organization with the goal to limit production. Zimbabwe would want some sort of protection if war were to break out. Being a smaller country they would be annihilated with out some sort of protection.
Zimbabwes stance on the proliferation of ballistic missiles is that they want restrictions on state missle ownership. They would want some less destructive missiles to be legal, although they would want all nucular missles to be prohibited, becaues as such a small country, it would be in eminence danger.
