| 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.
