Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty

As Nuclear Arms Race Returns, Is Non-Proliferation Treaty Still Relevant?

May 2, 2026 Amiad Horowitz, People's World. , , ,
The 11th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons opened Monday at United Nations headquarters in New York. For 25 days, representatives of 191 states-parties will negotiate over the future of a treaty that has served as the cornerstone of global nuclear order since 1970. The stakes could not be higher, and the system has never looked more fragile. For the first time in decades, the number of nuclear warheads in the world is rising. Global military spending soared to $2.7 trillion last year, which is thirteen times the total amount of global development assistance, roughly equivalent to Africa’s entire GDP. Two consecutive review conferences, in 2015 and again in 2022, collapsed without producing a consensus final document.

UK Exposed For Breaching The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

September 27, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
A new legal opinion launched on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons has found that the UK’s plans to expand its nuclear weapons programme by purchasing nuclear-capable F-35A fighter jets from the US is in breach of its disarmament commitments under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The purchase means that the UK, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, will have two delivery systems for nuclear weapons and a renewed nuclear mission for the Royal Air Force (RAF) since it retired its sovereign air-launched nuclear weapons. The UK will deploy the F-35s under NATO’s nuclear Dual Capable Aircraft mission. They will be able to deliver both conventional and the nuclear B61-12 guided nuclear bomb.
