It seems advisable to point out from the outset that the Latin American nuclear - weapon - free zone has the privilege of being the only one in existence which covers densely inhabited territories. Outside it only in Antarctica and the Outer space are similar prohibitions in force, based on treaties concluded in 1959 and 1967, respectively. The purpose of this study is to provide a synoptic view both of its genesis and of the most salient features which the analysis of its provisions may reveal.
