The Pelindaba Treaty: Africa joins the nuclear-free world

Article Abstract:

Africa's nuclear-weapon-free zone treaty, informally called the Pelindaba Treaty, will make most of the Southern Hemisphere free of nuclear weapons. Negotiating the treaty, which could take effect as early as 1997, was a long and tedious process that started in 1960 in reaction to France's nuclear tests in Algeria. The Pelindaba Treaty institutes non-proliferation precedents and will provide a barrier to secret nuclear weapons programs.
