The Nuclear Taboo And The Role of NCBMs Regime In Pakistan

Summary

The Nuclear Taboo And The NCBM Regime In PAKISTAN. Promotion of stability is a necessity between India and Pakistan. A formalized NCBM would help the situation. Such a regime would be a framework for the stability of the area.

Pakistan will use nuclear weapons in case of a threat when at the same time they are dealing with the nuclear taboo in some cases.  The nuclear taboo was re-established in answer to the existence of the prohibition against nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons use in Pakistan has been delegitimized because of their intolerable nature. That was mainly caused by the export procedures of A.Q. Khan who transferred materials to Iran, N. Korea, and Libya. That doesn’t mean that Pakistan will not use them in case they need them. There is nuclear taboo but not a nuclear deterrence in Pakistan. The military nuclear use is legitimate to the state of Pakistan, and it’s based on the logic of consequences which breaks down the use of the nuclear taboo. The Pakistanis’ military uses the policy of ‘first use,’ which means that the compulsion comes after conventional humiliation. Pakistan supports developing more nuclear weapons and has more military security. The role of religion in the nation, could play a role in developing nuclear constraints in the future.

        There is an important animosity that the state and the public has is towards India. One of the most significant regimes that must institutionalized is, between India and Pakistan concerning the use of nuclear weapons, with the use of Nuclear Confidence-Building Measures (NCBMs.) The NCBM regime between India-Pakistan must be formalized for future security.

        First: it needs to establish necessary resources, communication, and cooperation between agencies so confidence can be built, as per the Lahore Declaration.

       Second: these agencies need standard operational principles and procedures, including protocols for information sharing. Pakistani’s missile research and development program and India’s DRDO would be significant for controlling the escalation of emerging competition of missile technology. An engagement between the Strategic Force Command (SFC) in India and the Strategic Planning Division (SPD) in Pakistan would be crucial for conceptualizing and operationalizing the NCBMs.

Promotion of stability is a necessity between India and Pakistan. A formalized NCBM would help the situation. Such a regime would be a framework for the stability of the area.

        In the latest news, Pakistan, after backing up the Afghan Taliban for decades, turned on the group following the attacks in the county by the Pakistan Taliban. Pakistan gave an ordered that Afghan refugees must leave Pakistan. Around 300,000 Afghans have been removed from the county. The bilateral fight appears on Kabul’s support for extremists. The Taliban denied any accusation that they are behind the rise of terrorism in Pakistan. The Pakistanis are planning to remove around a million more of Afghani refugees from Pakistan.

       Pakistan is a Muslim nation and doesn’t take conventional humiliation very well. The use of nuclear weapons is an option for them, and the actions of Pakistan Taliban in Pakistan are not very well taken.
