Banning The Bomb: A Good Idea for Latin America?
Raul Alfonsin was the President of Argentina from 1983 to 1989 and remains,
as head of the Radical Party, the main opposition leader to President Carlos
Saul Menem.
Buenos Aires - In view of the senseless nuclear arms race unleashed
by the recent nuclear tests in India and Pakistan, the states of Latin America
- all of whom, except Cuba, have signed the Tlatelolco Treat that makes
the region a nuclear-free zone - are being looked upon as examples of the
disarmament alternative. This is particularly true of Argentina, lauded
as a paradigmatic case of reason prevailing over the pursuit of military
status.
