The Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Global Security Strategy of the EU

Mónica Miranzo

Keywords: Weapons of Mass Destruction, Non-proliferation, Nuclear Non- proliferation Treaty, NPT review Conferences, Global Security Strategy of the EU

Abstract

The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) is one of the main security challenges facing the international community today. However the new Global Security Strategy of 2016 raises the question of non-proliferation of WMD only as an incidental matter, not addressing directly the threat, a fundamental threat in the regional and global security. This is a clear step backwards for the European common security.
