Nuclear tensions have intensified recently, particularly highlighted by near-conflict between India and Pakistan, threatening billions of lives. The global order, marked by nuclear apartheid, has fostered a dangerous double standard, compelling non-nuclear states to seek their arsenals for national security. Major powers like the U.S., Russia, and China continue to modernize their nuclear stockpiles, escalating an arms race. This situation poses a severe risk to global peace, security, and the future of humanity, necessitating a critical reassessment of the ongoing crisis, particularly in light of the Trinity Test's 80th anniversary.
Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan approached the brink of a full-scale war, a confrontation that could have become an extinction-level event, with the potential to claim up to two billion lives worldwide.
The instability of a global order structured on nuclear apartheid has come into sharp relief, entrenching a dangerous double standard that incentivizes weapon proliferation.
The largest nuclear powers, including the United States, Russia, and China, show no signs of responsibility, heavily investing in the modernization and expansion of their arsenals.
The nuclear threat endangers global peace and security and threatens the very continuity of the human species, highlighting the urgency to reassess the current precarious situation.
