 | | Indian ratification may be conditional upon the five weapons states agreeing to specific reductions in nuclear arsenals. | | | In May 1995, NPT parties reaffirmed their commitment to a Fissile Materials Cut-off Treaty to prohibit the production of any further fissile material for weapons. | | | In 1969, the United States terminated the inspections. |

| | In particular, the United States' persistent role in undermining the goals of the NPT should be clearly outlined by the other parties to the treaty. | | | Such policies undermine the negative security assurances promised by the United States in 1978 and reaffirmed at the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference. | | | In the past year not only has no progress been made in fulfilling these steps but NWS, the United States in particular, have pursued policies that demonstrate significant regression from fulfillment of their Article VI obligations. |

| | The Real Nuclear Option - The Non-Proliferation Treaty is a mess. We have to save it anyway. By Fred Kaplan |
| | The problem is, all treaties have an exit clause; it's an acknowledgement that the countries haven't signed away their sovereignty. | | | In those cases, the treaty must be amended to provide an enforcement clause—and, harder still, an enforcement agency. | | | Any plan to strengthen the NPT must not only shrink the loopholes but also deal with these more basic questions—which boil down to the issue of incentives. |

| | Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty |
| | There were useful agreements on nuclear safety and liability, but most worryingly, sections dealing with export controls on nuclear materials and technology were watered down or lost altogether, and there were disturbing signs that Russia, China and France wished to weaken the agreements on full-scope safeguards. | | | Arrangements by all nuclear-weapon states to place, as soon as practicable, fissile material designated by each of them as no longer required for military purposes under IAEA or other relevant international verification and arrangements for the disposition of such material for peaceful purposes, to ensure that such material remains permanently outside of military programmes. | | | Reaffirmation that the ultimate objective of the efforts of States in the disarmament process is general and complete disarmament under effective international control. |

| | Nearly 190 states are now party to the Treaty, the greatest number of parties to any multilateral security agreement, save the United Nations Charter. | | | The NPT is fundamentally a treaty for mutual security. | | | For example, we have called upon the Conference on Disarmament to initiate negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT). |

| | The United States is not involved in the talks, but backs the Europeans who are continuing their negotiations with Iran. | | | Daryl Kimball heads the Arms Control Association, a non-profit organization based in Washington D.C. He says ultimately, for the talks to succeed, the United States must be directly involved. | | | And to be able to get this far only by offering them economic benefits, which is all the Europeans can offer them, without the United States having entered the game, is pretty impressive." |

| | A Nuclear Blunder? - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com |
| | The treaty’s provisions had to be updated to prevent countries like Iran from enriching uranium under cover of a peaceful civilian program—which is technically permitted under the NPT—when what Tehran really sought was a bomb, according to the administration. | | | And why has the United States been losing control of the conference’s agenda this week to Iran and other countries—a potentially serious setback to U.S. efforts to isolate Tehran? | | | But if the NPT needed so much fixing under U.S. leadership, why was the United States so shockingly unprepared when the treaty came up for its five-year review at a major conference in New York this month, in the view of many delegates? |

| | Article X establishes the terms by which a state may withdraw from the treaty, requiring three month's advance notice should "extraordinary events" jeopardize its supreme national interests. | | | The remainder of the treaty deals with its administration, providing for a review conference every five years and a decision after 25 years on whether the treaty should be extended. | | | Although Article X of the NPT requires that a country give three months notice in advance of withdrawing, North Korea argued that it satisfied this requirement because it originally announced its decision to withdraw March 12, 1993, and suspended the decision one day before it was to become legally binding. |
