Arms control and the 1990 NPT review conference: Workshop summary
The Center for National Security Studies of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Department of Energy's Office of Arms Control held a workshop on Arms Control and the 1990 NPT Review Conference'' on December 5--6, 1989, at Los Alamos. The fundamental objective of the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons to states that do not possess them; however, another of the NPT objectives is to encourage arms control efforts in the nuclear and nonnuclear arenas. Accordingly, under Article VI, each of the Parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.'' This paper discusses ideas put forward at the Review Conference.
