The crisis of the system of international relations in the world, the collapse of the global security architecture, new sources of conflict and the loss of effectiveness of the UN in the face of existing problems have re-emerged the threat of nuclear war.
Oku.AzPresident of the “Atlas” Research Center, political commentator, who expressed his opinion on this topic. Elkhan Sahinoglu He said the danger of using nuclear weapons is increasing.
“The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Nihon Hidankei, a Japanese organization that survived the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for its efforts to create a world free of nuclear weapons and to demonstrate that nuclear weapons should never be used again. US nuclear weapons against Japan It has been 79 years since the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the Japanese organization is linked to future threats.
When the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, it only had this weapon, and then the former Soviet Union acquired nuclear weapons. More than 80 years later, there are more than 20 countries that claim to have nuclear weapons and no one can guarantee that one of those countries will not use nuclear weapons against its enemy. The main issue that the international world has been discussing for several years is whether Russia will use nuclear weapons against Ukraine and the countries that provide it with military support. In Russia, the country’s security doctrine was even changed to facilitate the use of nuclear weapons.
The political commentator added that the Iran-Israel conflict and the use of nuclear weapons in other problematic regions are also on the agenda:
“The conflict between Israel and Iran has made the same issue relevant to these two countries. Although the parties do not admit it, they have nuclear weapons, or are close to having them. There are still missiles flying in the air, but if the war ends intensifies There will be talk of the possibility of a nuclear war in this region. North Korea also has nuclear weapons and no one can predict the policy of the leader of this country, which will result in an additional source of tension in the international world.
The principle that “no leader presses the nuclear button because it would be a disaster” may not work. The statements given also confirm this. “As regional wars expand, the number of states that want nuclear weapons will increase.”
