"Your move, Mr. President."(President Clinton's role in arms control)

Article Abstract:

President Clinton should establish and act on an agenda of arms control to reduce the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction. The important items on the agenda are, supporting the Russian ratification of START II, and the US ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Clinton will face opposition from the Russian Duma and the US Senate in his effort to tackle these issues. He will have to exercise his executive power to work out a summit with Yeltsin and announce an agreed framework for a START III treaty at the level of 2,000 strategic warheads.

The North Korean crisis

Article Abstract:

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) questioned North Korea's plutonium declarations which prompted it to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The completion of its unsupervised weapons project would mean the manufacture of 50 nuclear weapons annually by the year 2000. The persuasive efforts of an anxious international community might have to give way to the use of force if North Korea persists in intransigence.
