This is known as the verification problem, and has become increasingly fraught with modern weapons technology. Agreement in 1930 in London to restrict the 28 Arms Races numbers of warships needed no particular verification system, because heavy naval ships were impossible to hide, and normal methods of espionage were enough to keep track of what countries were doing. But verification for a treaty restricting the size of nuclear warheads that can be fitted to a missile is impossible without allowing inspection of each country’s missile sites, which is difficult to grant both for reasons of national secrecy and as a matter of sovereignty.
