Technological development is the breeding ground for novel weapons. However, the integration of novel weapons into a state's armed forces leads to a degradation of other states' security. To reduce or negate the disruption in the balance of power and control the levels of violence in inter-state conflicts, states negotiate and formulate arms control treaties. However, treaties are generally rigid and inflexible as they are a product of the environmental conditions that led to their creation, while technology is progressive and develops over time. The threat to the maintenance and objectives of treaties could stem from their static nature, in relation to the progressive environment they are designed to control. States that are signatories to a treaty, feeling that their security is not enhanced or is undermined by it, may choose not to fulfill their obligations, through non-compliance or termination of cooperation. This thesis posits that technological development of novel weapons leads to a) non-compliance or b) termination of the treaty. To test this hypothesis, an evaluation of treaties is suggested, cases are selected based on the prevailing political system (bilateral or multilateral) under which states accede to one of two treaty variations, bilateral or multilateral. The treaties that are selected are those reached after the industrial revolution (c. 1760), as according to the literature, technological advances in manufacturing have greatly influenced innovation in arms and arms control. Treaties are then divided into four groupings and eliminated if they were either still in force, or states' non-compliance or termination of cooperation were not linked to novel weapons. In contrast, cases that are selected for analysis are from those that have either terminated, or if the treaty is still in force, states' withdrawal from the treaty is due to novel weapons. Out of 54 treaties, four are selected, one from each category. However, due to the scope of this paper, only two treaties are selected as cases for comparative study. The conclusion asserts that, although novel weapons seem to have a bearing on the termination of the treaties, it is inconclusive, considering that only two cases have been studied and that other factors could affect states' decisions.
