The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference 08/01/2022 You are subscribed to Arms Control and International Security for U.S. Department of State. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference 08/01/2022 08:36 AM EDT Office of the Spokesperson Secretary Blinken will travel to New York for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference, where he will reaffirm the U.S. commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He will underscore that the United States remains dedicated to preserving and strengthening the nuclear nonproliferation regime for future generations.  For more than 50 years, the NPT has made our world safer and more prosperous, and the treaty is never more important than in times of crisis. The United States stands ready to work with all our partners to ensure a safer world for everyone. Non-Proliferation  Since its entry into force in 1970, the NPT has proven itself as the cornerstone of the nuclear nonproliferation regime and essential to international security. Articles I, II, and III of the Treaty play key roles in preventing the further spread of nuclear weapons. These include prohibiting nuclear-weapon States Parties from helping non-nuclear weapons States Parties acquire nuclear weapons (and in turn non-nuclear-weapon States Parties from receiving such assistance), establishing a link between safeguards and export controls, and by setting requirements for accepting International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards to verify that nuclear material is not diverted to nuclear weapons purposes. The United States remains dedicated to preserving and strengthening the nuclear nonproliferation regime for future generations. We play a leading role in ensuring the international community both responds to cases of NPT and safeguards noncompliance and provides the IAEA with the resources and political support necessary to carry out its important work. We continue to promote the combination of a Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol – with a modified Small Quantities Protocol, when applicable – as the de facto standard for achieving NPT safeguards goals and assuring NPT obligations are met. More information on the United States’ approach to nonproliferation and the NPT can be found in this fact sheet . Disarmament The NPT is the cornerstone of the nuclear nonproliferation regime and the basis for international cooperation to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and work toward their elimination. The United States remains committed to leading the way on arms control and addressing complex global security challenges. As President Biden said, the United States is “committed to reducing the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons” and “reinvigorating the global nuclear order to reduce the risk of use and proliferation of nuclear weapons.” Since the NPT entered into force, the United States has made significant progress towards disarmament, reducing the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, and limiting the role of nuclear weapons. In line with its obligation under Article VI of the NPT, the United States has a long history of reducing strategic risk and enabling progress on nuclear disarmament, a history the Biden-Harris administration is deeply committed to upholding and reinvigorating. We believe multilateralism and international cooperation are essential to advancing the universal goals of the NPT and we are committed to taking practical steps together. More information on the United States’ approach to disarmament and the NPT can be found in this fact sheet . Peaceful Uses Since the NPT came into force more than 50 years ago, cooperation on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, science, and technology (“peaceful uses”) has grown tremendously. Increasingly, Parties to the NPT are successfully making the benefits of peaceful uses accessible to all in a safe and secure manner. Today, thanks to the confidence provided by the NPT, nuclear applications are greatly improving the lives of people all around the world and helping address some of today’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, human health, and sustainable development. The benefits are clear and all NPT Parties must work to ensure continued access to them in a safe and secure manner, and without increasing the risk of nuclear proliferation. The United States is deeply committed to advancing peaceful uses. Since 2015, the United States has provided more than $395 million to help the IAEA promote peaceful nuclear applications. In collaboration with the United Kingdom and with support from other NPT States Parties, the United States has also launched a new effort to expand access to the benefits of peaceful uses cooperation. Working with the IAEA, the Sustained Dialogue will promote greater access, understanding, and acceptance of peaceful nuclear technologies, elaborate on how peaceful uses can help meet UN Sustainable Development Goals, and drive new areas of international cooperation in advancing peaceful uses consistent with our NPT obligations. For more information on the United States’ approach to peaceful uses and the NPT see this fact sheet .

Ministerial Statement of the French Republic, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America 08/01/2022 You are subscribed to Press Releases for U.S. Department of State. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. Ministerial Statement of the French Republic, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America 08/01/2022 10:22 AM EDT Office of the Spokesperson For more than fifty years, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has been an irreplaceable and vital component of a global rules-based order.  We reaffirm the NPT as the cornerstone of the nuclear nonproliferation regime and as the foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear technology.  We recall our enduring efforts to reduce nuclear risks in furtherance of our nuclear disarmament obligations under Article VI of the NPT. As the Tenth NPT Review Conference begins, we reaffirm its continued importance, and pledge to work positively toward the full implementation of all provisions and the full realization of its purposes.  Among them is the furtherance of international peace and security, which we, as NPT nuclear-weapon states and Permanent Members of the UN Security Council, are committed to preserving and promoting. The leaders of France, the United Kingdom, and the United States remain firmly committed to the objectives contained in the statement of 3 January 2022 on Preventing Nuclear War and Avoiding Arms Races.  We recognize and act with a deep understanding that nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.  We affirm the aspiration and high stakes associated with preserving the record of non-use of nuclear weapons since 1945.  Nuclear weapons, for as long as they exist, should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression, and prevent war.  We condemn those who would use or threaten to use nuclear weapons for military coercion, intimidation, and blackmail.  Such actions are profoundly dangerous and contrary to the purposes of the NPT and the UN Charter.  Following Russia’s unprovoked and unlawful war of aggression against Ukraine, we call on Russia to cease its irresponsible and dangerous nuclear rhetoric and behaviour, to uphold its international commitments, and to recommit – in words and deeds – to the principles enshrined in the recent Preventing Nuclear War and Avoiding Arms Races Leaders’ statement. The NPT has reduced the risk of a devastating nuclear war, and further reduction of that risk must be a priority for all NPT states parties and for this Review Conference.  We recognize that this risk is best addressed through concrete, substantive and purposeful steps and overcoming the strategic, political, and technical challenges necessary to achieve a world without nuclear weapons.  The working paper we submitted describes principles and responsibilities of responsible practices for NPT Nuclear Weapon States, and illustrates ways in which our governments will carry forward implementation of the January 3rd statement. By mandating ever stronger nuclear safeguards, implemented by the International Atomic Energy Agency to verify nonproliferation undertakings, we recall that the NPT has laid the necessary basis for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and for the secure sharing of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.  The potential for further contributions in the fields of energy, agriculture, health, environment and other fields is vast.  We renew our commitment to promote and expand their contribution to sustainable development and tackling climate change around the world. Previous Review Conferences, and the commitments we have made to each other, have advanced these common goals, and those commitments remain important.  Our governments have endeavored, and will continue to endeavor, to implement those commitments.  At the Tenth Review Conference, we must also continue to look forward, to identify the most pressing tasks to advance all thee pillars of the treaty: disarmament, nonproliferation and peaceful uses of nuclear energy, science, and technology.  Each pillar represents a shared interest of all NPT Parties, to which all can contribute. We are fully aware of the difficulties we face, and of the challenges recent events have posed to all three of those pillars.  This month, our words, our actions, and the common ground we build must all reinforce the global norms that derive from this Treaty and that protect us all.  This requires that we join in rejecting irresponsible nuclear rhetoric and reckless attacks endangering nuclear reactors and associated peaceful nuclear facilities.  All NPT Parties, nuclear-weapon States or non-nuclear-weapon States, have a duty both to demonstrate and to promote responsible behavior and restraint in meeting their obligations.  We recall, in this regard, our negative and positive security assurances to NPT non-nuclear-weapon states and will honor such assurances. We are committed to addressing regional proliferation crises wherever they arise.  We reiterate that Iran must never develop a nuclear weapon.  We regret that, despite intense diplomatic efforts, Iran has yet to seize the opportunity to restore full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).  We urge Iran to return to full implementation of the JCPOA and UNSCR 2231 and to cooperate on an urgent basis with the IAEA in resolving questions related to possible undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran as required under its NPT-required safeguards agreement.  We further note that continued advances in the DPRK’s nuclear and missile programs pose a growing threat to our common security.  We remain committed to complete, verifiable, and irreversible dismantlement by the DPRK of all its nuclear weapons and call on the DPRK to cease all nuclear tests and launches that use ballistic missile technology and related activities as required under multiple UN Security Council resolutions. During this Review Conference, we will examine closely and debate honestly all proposals for advancing implementation of the Treaty.  In this spirit, we pledge our best efforts to uphold international law, norms and institutions and to reach a positive, consensus outcome that will make all States and all their peoples more prosperous and more secure.
