Political support for disarmament has increased in recent years, propelled by worldwide concern about the twin dangers of nuclear proliferation and a nuclear terrorist attack. The urgent need to address this deadly nexus has prompted a growing chorus of calls for disarmament. President Obama articulated this new consciousness in his historic address in Prague in April 2009, in which he pledged American leadership for concerted efforts to reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons. This commitment was on display in September at a special session of the United Nations Security Council, attended by heads of state and chaired by the president, that strengthened global nonproliferation programs and vowed to create the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons.
