Abstract
This paper analyses the most substantial gap of the Nuclear Ban Treaty (also known as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, abbreviated TPNW), which touches upon the very aim of the treaty: the total and irreversible elimination of nuclear weapons. The Treaty aims at achieving ‘a word free of nuclear weapons’, but how is such an ambitious goal going to be achieved? The Nuclear Ban Treaty lacks specificity exactly in the area of verification, namely, it fails to appoint an international competent authority to ensure the effectiveness of the treaty under article 4 TPNW. This paper analyses the best international alternatives to police the verification regime under the Treaty and provides a framework for the designation of the most suited institution, looking at their expertise, mandate, funding and degree of potential political backlogs.

The Treaty aims at achieving ‘a world free of nuclear weapons’, but how is such an ambitious goal going to be achieved? The Nuclear Ban Treaty lacks specificity exactly in the area of verification, namely, it fails to appoint an international competent authority to ensure the effectiveness of the treaty under article 4 the prohibition of nuclear weapons (TPNW)
Choose a competent international organization specialized in the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons to formally inspect, monitor and verify and uphold the goals of the TPNW
Summary
Biological weapons are governed under the weapon destruction regime. Landmines, cluster munitions, and other such conventional and even some nonconventional weapons. People and nations have been using weapons to kill men, cannons to tear walls apart, but regardless of contemporary justice elements and purely objectively perceived, the gun and the cannon could be considered as a rational means to an end. In contrast, are a threat for war just by mere possession, but they are not a conventional weapon in the semantic sense. Put in the context above mentioned, the unfortunate events at Nagasaki and Hiroshima events were by no means a rational means to a rational end. Nuclear weapons are instruments of unlimited, universal destruction. A nuclear war is a self-defeating absurdity.
