Abstract

As a result of the Manhattan Project, a secret nuclear weapons program in 1946, the United States became the first nation in the world to secure a nuclear weapon. Although the United States’ nuclear weapon resulted in an international desire to attain similar capabilities, the leading scientists of the Manhattan Project released a somber statement that first reflected the destructive nature of nuclear weapons. The Manhattan Project scientists warned that a “grave danger lies ahead” if the issues associated with the weapon were not “carefully analyzed and discussed with competent authorities.”

The statement released by the Manhattan Project scientists was the first express statement made about the dangers that accompany nuclear weapons and, incidentally, nuclear proliferation. The scientists’ grave prediction came to fruition one month later, when two nuclear bombs killed over 250,000 Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

After the World War II nuclear bombings, the Soviet Union secured a nuclear weapon followed by the United Kingdom, France, and China. Fearing further proliferation and possible catastrophic results if the nuclear bomb fell into the wrong hands, the international community began to heed to the Manhattan Project scientists’ warnings by carefully analyzing and discussing nuclear non-proliferation. International discussions led to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in 1970. Currently, the NPT is the largest binding arms and limitation agreement as 191 out of 193 States are party to the treaty.

This Comment will argue that nuclear non-proliferation has attained jus cogens status because of both its shared fundamental importance in the international community as well as its universal acceptance and adherence. Ultimately, this Comment will analyze the opinio juris that surrounds the norm, relevant treaties and resolutions, and ad hoc investigations that contribute to the jus cogens status of the norm.

The United States was the first nation to develop a nuclear bomb and it did so racing against time, fearing that the Nazi Germany could beat them to it. The number of nuclear warheads owned by the United States grew considerably at the height of its cold war with the Soviet Union. However, at the same time, the Soviet Union was also growing their nuclear arsenal. Today, Russia has more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world, with 6,850.

Here's a list of countries around the world that possess nuclear weapons.

Russia - 6,850

Russia has more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world. At last estimates, the total number of nuclear weapons possessed by Russia was 6,850, according to the Arms Control Association. It is hard to know for sure how many weapons the country has because it is kept top-secret. In any case, this number is considered to be a decrease from the number of weapons that Russia had during its early days of nuclear testing.

The United States – 6,550

The United States was the birthplace of the nuclear weapon. Starting the the 1940s, the US government spent upwards of 9 trillion dollars to develop a bomb that could be used in atomic combat. In 1945, with the bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States became the first country, and to date the last, to use nuclear weapons in acts of war. The US first tested their nuclear weapons with the Trinity nuclear test in the desert of New Mexico in 1945.

Other Countries

The India-Pakistan war created bad blood between these two neighboring nations. India developed nuclear weapons before Pakistan and because of the tensions between them, Pakistan went ahead and did the same. Currently India is estimated to be having nearly 145 nuclear warheads while Pakistan has about 135.

The fact that North Korea currently has nuclear weapons makes things worse for the Korean peninsula. Its nuclear warheads stand at fewer than 10 while its neighbor, South Korea, has none. South Korea has the potential of developing nuclear weapon but are currently not showing any interest.

The Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty

In 1970, the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty came into effect. It prohibited countries who had not already developed nuclear weapons from doing so while the ones which had already developed them had to reduce their capacity.
