This article discusses the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) in light of questions that have been raised over its effectiveness by Western analysts due to the emergence of new nuclear weapons states. The author argues against these analysts, suggesting that the accomplishments of the NPT have been both extensive and enduring. However, he also suggests that for the NPT to survive and remain relevant, progress must continue to be made in controlling nuclear materials while reducing the number of nuclear weapons worldwide.
