Rarotonga Treaty

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Rarotonga Treaty

Agreement that formally declares the South Pacific a nuclear-free zone. The treaty came into effect in December 1986, having been signed by members of the Pacific Islands Forum. China and the USSR later signed protocols concerning nuclear-armed powers. The treaty takes its name from Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, where an anti-nuclear Declaration on Natural Resources and the Environment was adopted at an international conference in 1982.
