Background
Overview
Critical for global security, international law, the role of international organizations, regional stability, and challenges to the non-proliferation regime.
Nuclear proliferation refers to the spread of nuclear weapons, fissionable material, and weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information to nations not recognized as "Nuclear Weapon States" under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Denuclearisation efforts aim to eliminate existing nuclear arsenals and prevent further proliferation, often involving international treaties and inspections.
