Security and Hope through Nuclear Weapons Free Zones

The hidden success story of efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons has been the development of Nuclear Weapons Free Zones (NWFZs) around the world. At a time when people and governments of nearly every persuasion look for better ways to be safe and create the conditions for their children and societies to flourish, the citizens and governments of the world’s NWFZs have much to teach us. In a post 9/11 world, it is more important than ever to create regional zones of safety and security that foster cooperation and trust among neighboring states. Sustaining and expanding NWFZs can lead the way to nuclear abolition.
