10. Cuba
Points – 5
Cuba is one of the countries that is not known to have nuclear or chemical weapons programs, and it is one of the countries that has signed the major nonproliferation treaties and regimes. When it comes to biological weapons, however, there are allegations coming from the United States that Cuba has a limited developmental offensive biological warfare research and developmental effort. The official statements made by Cuba’s officials were to deny all allegations, but that is not exactly a surprise.
Cuba has signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 2002 and ratified the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean in the same year. The country has also signed the Biological and Toxin Convention back in the 70s and the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993.
