Dunn, L A

Since the entry into the force in March 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) has played a central part in this decades-long endeavor. The Treaty's specific undertakings have been carefully crafted to serve its three major objectives. The first, which was the driving force behind the initial push for the NPT, is to prevent the further spread of nuclear weapons. The second is to foster peaceful nuclear cooperation under safeguards. The third objective, added during the multilateral negotiation of the NPT, is to encourage good faith negotiations to end the nuclear arms race with a view to general and complete disarmament.
