Nuclear weapons have not been banned in the past because the nuclear states hold veto power in the Security Council .... a result it's taken a long time to create a real ban The Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed in '68, the Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty only hit the General Assembly last year passed 122 to 1 (with the nuclear states and their cronies abstaining) and is still awaiting ratification
