Non-Proliferation Treaties

Non-Proliferation Treaties are international agreements aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and promoting peaceful use of nuclear energy. The most prominent is the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which encourages nuclear-armed states to disarm and non-nuclear states to refrain from developing nuclear weapons. These treaties foster global security by reducing the risk of nuclear conflict and encouraging transparency and cooperation in nuclear technology. They are essential for maintaining international stability and promoting peaceful applications of nuclear science.
