Definition Guarantees given by nuclear-weapon States (NWSs) to nonnuclear-weapon States (NNWSs) which may entail (a) commitment not to use nuclear weapons against NNWSs, i.e., negative security assurance; or (b) immediate assistance to NNWSs against which nuclear weapons are used or threatened, i.e., positive security assurance.

Remark

Such assurances could take the form of an internationally legally binding instrument; no such instrument exists as of 2004.
