START II
START II
(Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) was a
bilateral treaty
between the
United States of America
and
Russia
on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms. It was signed by
United States
President
George H. W. Bush
and
Russian
President
Boris Yeltsin
on 3 January 1993, banning the use of
multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles
(MIRVs) on
intercontinental ballistic missiles
(ICBMs). Hence, it is often cited as the De-MIRV-ing Agreement. It never entered into effect. It was ratified by the
U.S. Senate
on 26 January 1996 with a vote of 87-4. Russia ratified START II on 14 April 2000, but on 14 June 2002, withdrew from the treaty in response to U.S. withdrawal from the
ABM Treaty
.
