disarmament agreements
Weapons reduction pacts
Disarmament agreements are treaties or accords between nations to reduce, limit, or eliminate weapons—typically nuclear, chemical, or conventional arms.
Such agreements often include verification mechanisms and phased timelines: The disarmament agreement required inspectors to monitor weapons destruction.
Distinct from arms control, which limits weapons growth, disarmament aims to shrink existing arsenals.
