Nuclear capabilities of nations like India and Pakistan have led to potential extinction-level threats, impacting billions. The double standards of a global nuclear order exacerbate security concerns, compelling non-nuclear states to seek armaments. Major nuclear powers are modernizing their arsenals, rekindling arms race dynamics reminiscent of the Cold War. The threat of nuclear weapons endangers both global security and the survival of life on Earth. This crisis aligns with the 80th anniversary of the Trinity Test, calling for a critical reassessment of humanity's use of nuclear power.
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 2 billion lives worldwide.
The instability of a global order structured on nuclear apartheid has also come into sharp relief in the context of the recent attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States.
Meanwhile, the largest nuclear powers show not the slightest signs of responsibility or restraint. The United States, Russia, and China are investing heavily in the "modernization" and expansion of their arsenals.
The nuclear threat endangers not only global peace and security but the very continuity of the human species, not to speak of the simple survival of life on Earth.
