Confronting the Nuclear Option: The CTBT and Sovereignty

‘I was opposed to the bomb from Day One till the nineteenth of July, 1996’, [George] Fernandes said. On that day, the Lok Sabha was debating the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty banning further tests. ‘In these discussions there was one point of unanimity: that we should not sign this treaty. I went through deep anguish — an atom bomb was morally unacceptable. But why should the five nations that have nuclear weapons tell us how to behave and what weapons we should have?’

George Fernandes to Amitav Ghosh1
