Description of the issue: Topic: Weapons of mass destruction

The world is currently experiencing events that call into question the state of peaceful life. Some states, unfortunately, are trying to use different forms of struggle for their benefit and dominance. For this purpose, means of mass destruction were created; these tools became an important tool in the hands of the leadership to achieve their goals. Weapons of mass destruction can be considered those that are capable of causing significant damage to humanity, manpower and equipment. Means of mass destruction include nuclear missiles, bacteriological and biological weapons and chemical weapons.

It is necessary for citizens to show empathy for the victims of wars who have been subjected to such weapons. The origins of mass weapons have deep roots.

Thanks to the development of scientific and technological progress, people realized that if they use nuclear and other types of weapons, they will destroy not only the enemy and themselves. Therefore, the realization that these dangerous weapons must be preserved for military operations forced the introduction of norms into the legislation of some states, according to which it was impossible to acquire and store weapons of mass attack. But despite this, these types of weapons are a huge risk, so every person should be aware of their participation in the creation of this type of weapon. After all, such means can be used by the enemy during war, and then mass death will occur. I want to draw attention to the problem of mass destruction and outline all possible ways to solve this problem. I believe that weapons of mass production should be banned and never used again
