New efforts to strengthen global nuclear security (Part 3 and end)
New efforts to strengthen global nuclear security (Part 3 and end)
18/7/16
3. Challenges
According to nuclear experts, since the first
NSS (2010), in spite of the fact that a number of positive results have been
recorded, effort to prevent and fight nuclear threat in many countries has been
weakened. There exist a series of holes in security cooperation among nuclear
facilities worldwide. James Lewis, an expert at Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS), believes that one of the most effective measures
against nuclear terrorism is close “international cooperation and assignment”. However,
even in this important Summit, there were no representatives from nuclear
powers, such as Russia, Iran, North Korea and Belarus. Meanwhile, issues on
fundamental structure of an international nuclear security system have not been
solved thoroughly. Holes in nuclear security have really existed in
international administration frameworks, such as information sharing, system of
browsers and procedures for setting performance standards. Moreover, doubt
among countries, particularly nuclear powers, also caused huge effect on
cooperation in this field.
Besides, to some extent, awareness of nuclear
security and cooperation within the framework of periodic international
conferences, even the 4th Summit have been affected by
political considerations of the U.S. – the world’s largest nuclear power. At
present, the world nuclear situation is more challenging than ever due to more
countries’ possessing nuclear weapons and the expansion of terrorism. If it
still exists in a multi-pole world, it is impossible to solve the issue of
nuclear security globally. Thus, it is thought that in order to create
international stability, minimize the threat of nuclear terrorism and
strengthen global nuclear security, it is necessary to build an inclusive,
appropriate and robust mechanism which is effective enough to deal with global
issues and in accordance with international norms. It could be led by real
experience to optimize the common interests of all countries, and not be
influenced by any particular country. This might be a prerequisite to build a
global nuclear security architecture, meeting the goal of maintaining security
and peace of a world without nuclear weapons.
