Abstract: This work discusses the prevention of nuclear proliferation by the use of test ban treaties. Centered around the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, this paper will highlight the major concerns in each of the high-risk regions of interest and propose a unique test ban solution focusing on broad global precedents and specific regional implementations to prevent the development and proliferation of new nuclear weapons. While the CTBT itself has yet to be implemented as eight specific states have not signed the treaty, the policies highlighted in the treaty will ensure a decrease in the global nuclear threat.
