In all regions of the world, national governments spend far more money on arms than on development, health or education.
Military sending takes colossal amounts of money, technical and human resources which are urgently needed for development.
Chemical and biological weapons are being made in new varieties and greater quantities.
Nuclear, chemical and biological weapons continue to spread.
