NPT 2000: is the treaty in trouble?

Article Abstract:

There are signs that difficulties may arise during the five-year review conference of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in New York, NY, in Apr 2000. These difficulties stem partly from the fact that the 1995 five-year review conference simply deferred the controversial issues that have fostered conflict among the parties to the NPT since it was founded in 1968. Some countries and non-governmental organizations are now seeking to punish the US for failing to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and for the poor prospects for significant new reductions. It is important for all participants to ensure that the 2000 review achieves the desired outcomes.

The spread of nuclear-weapon-free zones: building a new nuclear bargain

Article Abstract:

The US, France and the UK, in an effort towards nuclear disarmament, declared, on Oct 20, 1995, that they would ratify the protocols of the Treaty of Rarotonga or the South Pacific nuclear-free-zone treaty (SPNFZ) in the first half of 1996. The US is in favor of a nuclear-weapon-free-zone in South Asia and the Middle East, in addition to the one completed for Africa. The zones will be judged on the basis of seven criteria as per US policy, but it will not guarantee US participation even if all the criteria are met.
