The contemporary international political scenario can be well analyzed by keeping the term “hypocrisy” in our consideration. Basically the prevailing international politics does not function as an international integrating system; rather it functions as a catalyst to invigorate international disintegration by dividing the world into political giants and political ants. International integration, which should be a step before the first and foremost step, has been deleted from the hard disk of international politics. International integration that should be the fore-legs of civilizations has only proved to be a wheel-chair of crippled civilization that is leading it to nowhere. International integration seems to be a comedy at the present scenario. A world that is standing at the threshold of nuclear war, for such a world international integration is definitely a comedy. A world that has such civilized societies that talk in terms of chemical weapons for such a world nuclear non-proliferation is an intentional blunder. Nuclear non-proliferation seems to be a very controversial term – properly designed and masterly disguised. The most interesting fact about non-proliferation treaties is the fact that they have been managed by those who have been responsible for most of nuclear proliferation. It is just like that proverb that says, “Having eaten a thousand mice, the innocent cat plans to go for a pilgrimage”.

It is really imperative to ponder upon the question that whether these non-proliferation treaties, programs, meetings, conferences, awareness workshops and agendas have really gained what they have been managed for or they are just for the suited-booted gentlemen who while wearing ties around their necks, sitting around the glossy tables with a load of various types of dishes think that they are the perfect examples of civilization but they forget that most of the pets have belts around their necks as well and their food bowls containing their meal in front of them.

There is no doubt in the fact that the contemporary international politics could not give us world peace, but it has only given us the political giants and political ants, while the Western people are included in political giants and the third world countries are the political ants. If they try to grow in size, they are stopped. If they want to take initiatives for their security, their initiatives are burnt and nowadays these actions are not taken by the Western world directly but through political hypocrisy, through well-dressed slogans of international peace, through dysfunctional non-proliferation treaties, through Comprehensive Test Ban Treaties and through disarmament movements and these all are mostly organized by their so-called modern and peace-loving intellectuals.

There are few who believe that the current slogans of peace and tranquility and non-proliferation are new techniques by the imperialists to strengthen their dominance in the international scenario. It is necessary to consider the view and analyze it as per the contemporary settings. 

Imperialism is not a newly coined term. We can find its roots from the era of colonization of Asian and African countries during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by the Western countries. That colonization just like today’s imperialism was disguised skillfully. Like Europeans used to call themselves as superior people and used to convince the native people that they would benefit from their superior nature. They would benefit from their superior religion. They were not aliens, rather people sent by god to guide others and they were doing the same but actually they were there to occupy their land and steal their natural resources. They were successful to a great extent in their designs and there were many who thought them to be blessing and started offering them their land, their possessions and natural resources willingly.  

Today’s imperialism is an evolution of the same colonization. It has evolved in terms of both technology and technique. Today’s technology is more modern and techniques are more misleading. Imperialism has clothed its cunning incentives by beautiful slogans. It is not what it seems. Its behavior is deceptive and nuclear non-proliferation is one of the examples of its dual nature. The slogan of non-proliferation is raised because imperialism wants a solid excuse to shun the third world nations but it is important that they should start non-proliferation from the world powers that are the storerooms of nuclear arms. The world powers have the capacity to destroy the whole world several times with their weapons. When the world powers carry out some nuclear tests the world peace organizations and test ban treaties keep quiet like a dump person. When the third world countries try to carry out some tests they are sanctioned and even attacked; like Iraq was attacked as an excuse of weapons of mass destruction, which were never found from Iraq. This is really a lame and cruel justice. It is believed that making a hungry person smell the delicious smell of a ready meal before killing him is a blessing of a cruel justice and this is what the Western civilization is doing with the third world countries, through its non-proliferation treaties and peace establishing organizations.

There is no controversy about the fact that every nation has got the right of self-defense. The nations that want to guarantee complete security for their people need to acquire weapons; this is a reality that has to be accepted by everyone. If they do not acquire weapons they will be dominated by their enemies – this is how we have formed the world order and political scenario. There are many countries in the state of war and they always have certain enemies against whom they have to defend themselves.

However, from this discussion it must not be inferred that there should be uncontrolled competition of weapons. The sanctions are necessary but the most important factor is that the sanctions must be just and they should be applicable against all the countries in the world – both strong and weak. If they favor just the strong, then it means they are tools for them to further their dominance and control in world politics and that means further disorder and wars.
