Global arms control and Nepal

Given our hopeless situation in arms manufacturing, our best bet is on their control.

As the race to manufacture weapons continues on the global stage, Nepal’s capability to produce them remains minimal. With less than 10 countries producing nuclear weapons, the possibility of Nepal producing the same, with its limited financial and technical resources, is non-existent in the foreseeable future. In fact, the country does not produce sarin or mustard gas on a mass scale. Even the simple rifles and assault weapons used during the Maoist insurgency were imported. To produce biological weapons, the country would need enormous help from foreign countries, and this makes little sense.
