Tomahoghová, Jana ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
Nuclear weapons are from their first use near the end of World War II the topic of the unfailing debates in the world politics. Considering they are easily abusable they represent an important menace to the international security. The only possible solution is their complete elimination. However, nowadays we may think the nuclear disarmament could be finished a lot of barriers still exist and make it inlikely to be implemented.
