| Summary/Abstract |
Nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZs) have emerged as an important but largely unnoticed
approach towards a nuclear-weapon-free world, overshadowed by the more visible Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Zones established so far cover some 50% of
the world's land areas, including 99% of all land south of the equator and 74% of all land outside
nuclear-weapon states1
(NWSs). Altogether, NWFZs include 119 states and 18 other territories,
with some 1.9 billion inhabitants. Several more NWFZs are currently under discussion-
one of which is a proposed zone to cover the circumpolar Arctic. Such a zone has been
discussed since the mid-1960s, but it has recently become politically feasible following global
warming and the gradual melting of the polar ice-cap.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE FAST MOVING controversial developments in the Middle East and North Africa seem to be sidelining the search for responses to some fundamental security challenges in the region. This refers, for example, to the discussion of steps for the preparation and successful conduct of next year's conference on the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East. Furthermore, some people think that there is not a favorable environment for such a conference now or in the foreseeable future.

| Summary/Abstract |
One approach that forms part of wider global strategies to eliminate nuclear weapons is the
negotiation by groups or individual states on regional nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZs).
The zones do not supplant the need for negotiated, universally-applicable frameworks and
instruments-such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the
Model Nuclear Weapons Convention-for dealing with nuclear threats, but they do serve to
gradually limit and delegitimize nuclear weapons at a regional level and to move towards a
nuclear-weapon-free world.
