Arms And Armaments And The Question of Insecurity Around The World: A Focus on The Humanitarian Impact of Small Arms and Light Weapons
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
During the Cold War, arms control negotiations have focused on major weapons systems like nuclear bombs, ballistic missiles, and aircraft. This was partly because the devastation that a nuclear war could cause. However, these are not the weapons that are being used in many of today’s conflicts. Today’s conflicts now depend almost entirely on small arms and light weapons. Therefore to reduce armed conflict and global insecurity, there is need to focus attention on these weapons. This paper therefore sets out to analytically x-ray the issues of arms proliferations and its import on global security today. The paper uses content analysis to make inferences and deductions and looks at theories such as games and balance of power theories and the paper concluded that small and light weapons have brought more calamity upon humans than they have done good and suggests that the world needs to respect the treaty on the reduction in the proliferation of light and small arms for the sake of salvaging humanity.
