Abstract: Third World countries are defined on the basis of their level of development and the low level of their GDP per capita. They are helpless in the face of the arms race led by the US and the USSR as leaders. Their security is threatened by political cleavages, the consequences of colonization, internal conflicts and regional wars, the costs of their own arms industries or of arms imports. Military spending in these countries remains significant, despite the application of the dilemma between butter and cannon. Disarmament procedures for the development of all countries in the world face many obstacles. The creation of a Disarmament Fund for Development is only a project whose implementation seems weak. In this context, the state of health of the inhabitants of Third World countries poses a problem due to population growth, the state of health, and insufficient international action, particularly in terms of public health. Military spending crowds out health spending.
