Description

Fighting the Spread of Nuclear Weapons

The landmark international treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) dates back to 1970, but is reviewed every five years. In 2005, some observers say, it will face some of its toughest tests ever.

Is the international framework for dealing with nuclear threats in danger of erosion? What safeguards are there for non-nuclear states to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful use? Does the threat of nuclear terrorism call for new initiatives?

These are the some of the questions addressed in this episode of World Chronicle with the President of the 2005 NPT Review Conference, Sérgio de Queiroz Duarte.
