55 years ago, the Soviet Union ratified the NPT The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), ratified by our country on November 24, 1969, is often referred to as the cornerstone or the foundation of the modern system of international relations. In many respects, this description ...
.... First of all, there is the Southeast Asian NWFZ under the Bangkok Treaty and the South Pacific NWFZ envisioned by the Treaty of Rarotonga [ i ]. Some Asian-Pacific NNWSs are active Non-Aligned Movement members, who vocalize their discontent to the NPT ( The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons ) review process. In their view, negotiations in good faith postulated by NPT Article VI are not being pursued as expeditiously as they should. This standpoint has been embodied in the adoption ...
... but the very rhetoric currently coming out of Seoul will certainly make leaders of various nations in the Asia-Pacific think twice. In the meantime, the outcome of the 10 th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) was unsatisfactory, to put it mildly. Four weeks of discussions in New York, back in August 2022, failed to produce consensus among the participants. The non-nuclear-weapon States have good reason to complain about the reluctance of the nuclear-weapon ...
... nations (India, Pakistan and North Korea) have openly tested nuclear weapons, and another one (Israel) has kept a deliberate ambiguity on its nuclear status. However, this positive track record gives no reasons to be complacent about the future. The last NPT Review Conference (August 2022) revealed an evident lack of consensus on the future of non-proliferation. The ongoing cycle of geopolitical competition between great powers complicates the problem of nonproliferation immensely. Since the trust between ...

... existential common risks, including on the climate and global public health. It is especially important as new technologies reduce decision time for leaders. Such a principle is also at the core of the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) whose Preamble recognises “the devastation that would be visited upon all mankind by a nuclear war and the consequent need to make every effort to avert the danger of such a war and to take measures to safeguard the security of peoples”. The ...
... nearly fifty years of nuclear arms control history had come to an end. If New START had ceased to exist on February 5 this year, the nuclear arms control system would have been completely dismantled, after which the question of the viability of the NPT and CTBT would obviously arise. In addition, the destruction of this system would most likely lead to an uncontrolled multilateral arms race, including strategic land-based and submarine-based missiles, medium-range missiles, non-strategic nuclear ...
... larger global shifts. The international community has done a decent job of preventing horizontal nuclear proliferation. This relative success has resulted from the presence of legal, political, and normative barriers in the Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) framework; the United States’ ability to make allies feel secure enough not to pursue nuclear capabilities; and the sense that clandestine nuclear development will be caught—largely because the United States and Russia have historically been ...
... regime and share a common interest in its preservation and longevity. This report offers a set of recommendations on how the UK and Russia could display leadership, create opportunities, and positively shape the 2020 Review Conference and advance the NPT agenda beyond RevCon. The recommendations in this report are the result of the European Leadership Network (ELN) led project "Can Moscow and London Find a Way Forward on the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)?" The project began in July 2019 ...
... stability, collapsed; the Treaty on Open Skies is in jeopardy ; the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, or the Iran deal) is in its death throes; the 2015 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) failed [ 1 ], and there is no guarantee that the 2020 conference will be a success. If the anniversary event (in 2020, the NPT celebrates its 50 th year) fails, it will deal a significant blow to the Treaty. It is possible that the Iranian and Korean ...
