Description

REVIEW OF NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY COMPLETED

Representatives of 187 countries adopted an historic agreement in May 2000 that breathed new life into the 30-year-old Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and raised hope for nuclear disarmament. The consensus, the first achieved in three successive review conferences over 15 years, included an "unequivocal undertaking by nuclear weapon states to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals". In this edition of World Chronicle, Hannelore Hoppe, Chief of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Branch at the United Nations Department for Disarmament Affairs, discusses some of the achievements that resulted from the recently held review of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
