Abstract

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) signed by United States President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Prague on 8 April is the latest milestone in the over 40-year-long effort to control strategic arms. It brings a step closer Obama's goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. The agreement is widely seen as a precursor to further negotiations which could produce deeper reductions, including in tactical nuclear weapons and non-deployed nuclear warheads, and which could begin the construction of a regime to control the dismantling of warheads and their fissile material.
