Abstract :Headline-grabbing international crises understandably tend to gain public attention. Conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo, Sierra Leone and East Timor, and now Chechnya are hcId in the spotlight of international news and are quickly relegated to the background when theyare resolved or have gone on for too long to be newsworthy. Likewise the open testing of nuclear warheads by India and Pakistan initiaIIy garnered much international discussion, and some sanctions. Since then the matter appears to have been put to rest and forgotten by the public, and has been only barely mentioned in the context of the reeent turmoil and military coup in Pakistan.Keywords : FORGOTTEN NUCLEAR, NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION, UNIONl
