ABSTRACT The great-scale of agreement signed in 1968 to limit and dis-proliferate the nuclear spreading meets its zenith and ineffectiveness. The rate of nuclear ownership across the world had escalated to the astonish number, excluding the five nuclear states confirmed in the treaty. The nuclear weapons ownership disperses to the certain states, signatories or not. To some extend this phenomenon is unstoppable and unmanageable. However, this condition creates the uncertainty of peace and security due its imbalance of the world order that seemingly owned by the states which possessed nuclear weapons. Some of the states are also suffering for the insecurity due the absence of nuclear weapons within them. „Haves and have-nots‟ increases the insecurity and threat amongst the states which creates further conflict, then peace would not be attained. Therefore, the spreading of nuclear weapons must be existing to utter the certainty of world peace and security through its mutual assurance element and deterrence strategy. This weapon is so far the ultimate peace-keeping weapons this world has ever found. Keywords: nuclear weapons, peace, security, deterrence strategy
