That's easy, the US has a permanent seat on the security council. It can veto any attempt to restrict it with international law. Same for Russia and China's WMDs.
- sudosysgen 4y agoThe UNSC can't make just anything illegal. It's legal for NK to develop ballistic missiles under international law. It wasn't legal for NK to develop nukes because of the NPT. In theory further developments after they left the NPT are legal. A more interesting example would be, for example, Pakistan, which never joined the NPT and isn't on the security council, yet legally developed nuclear weapons.
