The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is an international agreement aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, promoting peaceful use of nuclear energy, and working towards nuclear disarmament. Countries that don’t have nuclear weapons commit to not developing them, while those that do have arsenals agree to reduce and eventually eliminate them. The treaty encourages cooperation in nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and fosters global security by reducing the risks associated with nuclear proliferation. Overall, it is a foundation for nuclear governance and global security, promoting responsible behavior among nations.
