Nuclear law
The importance of international law relating to nuclear law lies in the fact that it regulates, conducts and prohibits the use of nuclear weapons. The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution 1540 in 2004, relating to the use of nuclear weapons under Chapter VII of United Nations Charter. It says that all states should establish domestic controls to prevent the proliferation of such weapons especially for terrorist purposes by establishing appropriate controls over related materials, and by adopting legislative measures in that respect.
