law & sanctions. Also Section 102(b) of the Arms Export Control Act
Section 102(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, commonly called the Glenn Amendment after Senator John Glenn, requires sanctions on any non-nuclear-weapon state, as defined by the NPT, that detonates a nuclear explosive device. They include ending most foreign and military assistance and opposing loans from international financial institutions. President Clinton applied them to India on 13 May 1998 and to Pakistan on 30 May 1998, after both countries’ nuclear tests; many were later eased or waived.123
