Advancing Nuclear Fail-Safe in the Asia-Pacific
APLN has worked with partners in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the United States to highlight the benefits of independent, internal “fail-safe” reviews in nuclear-armed states. Fail-safe reviews are aimed at strengthening safeguards to prevent unauthorized, inadvertent, or mistaken use of a nuclear weapon, including through false warning of an attack. These reviews would be effective unilateral nuclear risk-reduction steps, not requiring any negotiation, treaty, or verification.
