Introduction

With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war, contrary to popular belief, the issue of nuclear weapons persisted, in particular due to concerns about nuclear arms left in countries of the former Soviet Union. This context gave rise to a growing emphasis on addressing arms control issues from a humanitarian perspective, an approach that would gain strength over the years through the development of various arms control instruments and political commitments.
