Nuclear Weapon Free Zones: Why not preserve them?

If there is a war that every human being dreads that would be the Nuclear Warfare. Some believe it can never happen because of its effects - a war of no winner. But what do we say of attacks from the third parties?- TERRORIST!
Already the environment has been degraded by military activities in many ways, but without the military the terrorists would have made the entire world their abode reigning supreme in every sphere. We are all familiar with the danger of starting off a nuclear warfare which actually was the teething issue that gave birth to our great organization, GREENPEACE!
Several places have continued to suffer the aftermath effects of this poisonous substance either as testing grounds or battle grounds as witnessed in the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 1945. Several Test Ban Treaties have come up yet we all still live in fear of having this war someday (the doomsday clock tells better). The creation of Nuclear-Weapon-Free-Zones is an important part of the global effort to restrict geographically the nuclear menace. Sometimes ago three zones were created; South Pacific (Treaty of Rarotonga), Latin America (Treaty of Tlatelolco) and Africa (Treaty of Pelindaba). Now, three more have been added; Bangkok Treaty, Mongolian Free Status and Antartic Treaty. This is a plus to the goals of Greenpeace we would love to see more of these zones been created but my contribution is to see how those already set up being preserved from any compromise of annihilation of some Nuclear weapons fron the nuclear states. More of these zones is needed if you know of any region around your country that can be converted into this save haven please do inform us all, we need to act fast.
