Divisions and doubts at the third NPT PrepCom

Article Abstract:

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is to undergo a full review by members in 2000, and this is the first such review since the agreement became permanent in 1995. The Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) carried out its third meeting in New York in May 1999. Cuba is outside the regime, as are three countries with nuclear weapons capabilities, Pakistan, Israel and India. India appears to be seeking privileges following the explosion of a nuclear device, an the NPT states without nuclear weapons reject this pressure.

Multilateral arms control: can the CD break the impasse?

Article Abstract:

The Conference on Disarmament (CD) is no longer regarded as a conducive platform for international disarmament talks. The Geneva forum has been successful in the past, when it led to the signing of a number of treaties including the Dec 1997 Ottawa Treaty. CD members from all over the world are not inclined to commit themselves on suggested programs of work including the control of anti-personnel landmines and nuclear disarmament.
