ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on destruction of nuclear warheads and the sequestering of their nuclear-explosive materials will deserve careful attention in the future. It discusses verification provisions originally embodied in the convention have been considerably augmented since through agreements entered into by its parties in review conferences and through actions taken at the United Nations. The book explores nuclear weapons can and should be eliminated entirely from the armaments of nations, it is obvious at least that much smaller nuclear arsenals than those deployed by the United States and Soviet Union would be adequate for any imaginable deterrent need. In contrast to the attention that has been devoted to the problems of limiting the use of space as an arena for military competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, on naval arms control has been neither very vigorous nor very successful.
