From 21 to 23 June 2022, the 61 States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will meet for the first time.

Le 20 septembre 2015, après un parcours parlementaire long et semé d'embûches, la Diète japonaise a finalement approuvé une réforme très attendue de la législation nippone de défense et de sécurité.

L'article 9 de la Constitution est réinterprété de façon à permettre aux Forces d'Autodéfense japonaises de venir en aide à un allié attaqué, notamment les États-Unis. En effet ...

The system should provide defence against all types of missiles. A missile early warning system is being developed across the country. The A-135 system is being upgraded and integrated into the VKO. Missile defence exercises have been intensified across the country, with numerous tests conducted in the last months of 2012 and more planned for 2013. If the organisational and budgetary challenges are met, the VKO will significantly boost Russia's military strength.
