Nuclear proliferation: the increase in the number of states that have the potential to use nuclear weapons
Disarmament: when a country gets rid of its weapons

Christian teaching opposes mass destructive power and its impact on civilian populations, communities, cities and societies. It is difficult to imagine a situation when a Just War could be fought with nuclear weapons because they could never be used in a proportionate way. However some may argue that possession of the weapons prevents wars from happening.
