Abstract
Even though desires for limiting, if not eliminating, weapons and armies seem to be almost as old as human society2), not until the invention and accumulation of nuclear weapons, with their potential of endangering the very survival of mankind, have these desires been transmuted into internationally accepted imperatives. Since the late 1950’s, the superpowers have been engaged in a series of bilateral negotiations on the limitation of strategic nuclear weapons, which resulted in several agreements in the 1960’s and 1970’s3).
Sections of this contribution are contained in a joint paper with John D. Kettelle published in the Journal of the German Society of Operations Research (DGOR) “OR Spectrum” 3/86. The authors thank its publishers for the permission of reproducing the respective parts.
