NPT: what is it all about? [WP1062]

• Conflict prevention, resolution and state building
• Defence and security

After a decade of deadlock the recent Nuclear non-proliferation Treaty review delivered breakthrough, but what has been achieved? We discuss the treaty’s 3 pillars, USA/Russia disarmament and how non-signatories to the treaty impact on its effectiveness.

This is the second podcast recorded during our meeting.

Contributors are:

John Duncan, Ambassador and Permanent Representative, United Kingdom Permanent Mission to the Conference on Disarmament, Geneva

Susan Burk, Special Representative of the President for Nuclear Nonproliferation, US Department of State, Washington DC
