Reducing the Global Nuclear Danger: International Cooperation – the Indispensable Security Imperative

by on

Reducing the Global Nuclear Danger: International Cooperation – the Indispensable Security Imperative, by Charles B. Curtis, President, Nuclear Threat Initiative, November 2007.

  • The greatest security threat today – not just for the United States, or for the West, but for the world – is the possibility that a terrorist group could acquire a nuclear weapon and set it off in a major city. The probability of such an event remains low – although it is growing. The consequences of such an event would be catastrophic and world altering. Keeping such a weapon out of terrorist hands should be the central organizing security principle of the 21st century. It encompasses the key facts of global security today: a terrorist nuclear attack is the greatest threat, and international cooperation is the only realistic means of defeating that threat.”
