West and Soviet Stance on International Verification for Test Ban
The United States and Britain say a nuclear test ban must include robust verification because existing national detection systems cannot reliably distinguish natural earthquakes from underground tests. They note the Soviets initially accepted inspections in 1958 but now reject any international verification on Soviet soil. The West argues that without proper safeguards and mutual confidence the treaty would fail, and if Soviets resume testing the West must respond to ensure security.
