Abstract
The nuclearization and proliferation of nuclear weapons in South Asia is always
remaining a matter of international concern, particularly since the two newest entrants to
the nuclear club have an adversarial relationship. The series of nuclear tests conducted
by, India and Pakistan in 1998, have confirmed their nuclear capability. The possibility
of a nuclear conflict between both countries cannot be ruled out by the world
community. Since 1998, an endless debate has begun in the West, expressing
apprehension on a nuclear arms race and proliferation of nuclear weapon and accidental
or intentional use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The nuclear tests was
criticized by the whole world, especially by the major powers which decided to impose
sanctions on both countries and stressed to sign the NPT and CTBT immediately. Due to
internal pressure both countries not only refute to sign these treaties but process of
nuclearization is still in progress. The main purpose of the article is to examine the
perception of the EU during 1971 till 1998 towards this sensitive issue related to
nuclearization and proliferation of nuclear weapons in South Asia region.
