What was the response of the international community after the two Asian countries-India and Pakistan conducted the Nuclear Tests in 1998? |
Sanctions were imposed on both countries. The LDCs asked them to make them permanent members of P5 countries. They were made permanent members of the UN Security Council. All of the above. |
Sanctions were imposed on both countries. |
The correct answer is Option 1 - Sanctions were imposed on both countries. India conducted a series of nuclear tests in May 1998, demonstrating its capacity to use nuclear energy for military purposes. Pakistan soon followed, thereby increasing the vulnerability of the region to a nuclear exchange. The international community was extremely critical of the nuclear tests in the subcontinent and sanctions were imposed on both India and Pakistan, which were subsequently waived. |
