Implications of the Conference on Disarmament (CD) for significant arms control and disarmament are assessed in this article. Fissile material cutoff, test ban issues, anti-personnel landmines, and transparency are among the issues reviewed. Government policies of nuclear powers are reviewed with respect to various treaties, as well as their responses to the CD. Major barriers in the CD talks are identified and primarily ascribed to political and cultural differences. It is concluded that five-power talks between the declared nuclear weapon states offer the best chance of reducing nuclear threats and making progress on nuclear disarmament.
