Nuclear Proliferation Treaty

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is an international agreement aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. It encourages countries that don’t have nuclear arms to stay peaceful and non-military, while promoting the sharing of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes like energy. The treaty also commits nuclear-armed nations to work towards disarmament. Its goal is to reduce the risk of nuclear conflict, promote security, and prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons globally. The NPT has been signed by most countries, making it a cornerstone of global efforts to control nuclear proliferation.
