In 2020, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) commemorates its fiftieth anniversary in force. This paper discusses the commitments undertaken by the state parties to in accordance with the outcomes of the 1995, 2000 and 2010 NPT’s review conferences, especially as they relate to nuclear disarmament. The text’s author also outlines how nuclear arms control and the objectives of conference outcomes have been undermined in the current international environment. In response, the report looks at ways the parties to the NPT could re-engage with constructive progress toward nuclear disarmament and risk reduction.
