Disarmament
Advancing verified reductions in nuclear weapons
Pillar 1 of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) commits its States Parties to negotiate in good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.
It also establishes the right of any group of States to conclude regional treaties with the aim of ensuring the total absence of nuclear weapons in their respective territories.
