Why the NPT Review Conference Matters

Short animation explaining the significance of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Review Conference.

The NPT is considered as the cornerstone of global nuclear order. It sets out norms against nuclear nonproliferation and encourages nuclear disarmament under the Article VI commitments of the NPT.

The NPT was extended indefinitely in 1995 but, with increasing polarization in the nuclear weapons policy and disagreements on the best possible ways forward, it is important to bring back the attention to the need to make progress on nuclear arms control and disarmament ahead of the 2021 NPT Review Conference.
