1.Counteracting the proliferation is the most active policy of proliferation deterrence. The concept of active counter-measures to stop proliferation was put forward by president George Bush administration. Though the US Department of Defense has used the term of 'counteracting the proliferation' during the first Bill Clinton's presidency.
2.The world community already has a wide spectrum of means to peacefully solve the problems of preventing proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by nations and non-nation actors. These preventive measures reduce the risk for the population to the smaller level, than pre-emptive military actions aimed at liquidation of WMD objects. It is quite possible to strengthen the treaties terms and to block all the 'loopholes'.
3.Thus, counteraction measures to fulfill the 'protection duties' ought to be executed by the Security Council only, or in accordance with the respective UN Security Council, and should be aimed at eliminating the threat of using the WMD that come from nations and non-nation actors. At the same time, it is necessary to go further along the way of liquidating all the WMD stocks in any countries in order to firmly guarantee the non-proliferation of the WMD.
