Publication

This publication contends that the current international context is hardly conducive to arms control and disarmament. As a result, the text’s authors identify ten practical steps to revitalize the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty as the principal normative and legal foundation of the global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime. In doing so, the authors also 1) set out to restore a sense of common purpose with regards to initiatives that seek to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons; 2) address ‘old’ nuclear weapon-related risks; and 3) highlight ‘new’ risks arising from developments in conventional capabilities and emerging technologies.
