The NPT is a pioneering international treaty aimed at preventing nuclear proliferation and weapons technology, promoting cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and promoting the goal of nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. The treaty is the only binding commitment of a multilateral treaty aimed at the goal of disarmament by nuclear-weapon States. The treaty, which was signed in 1968, came into force in 1970. A total of 187 parties have joined the Treaty, including the five nuclear-weapon States. More countries have ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty than any other Arms Limitation and Disarmament Treaty, demonstrating the importance of the treaty.

In order to support the non-proliferation objective and as a measure of trust between States Parties, the treaty provides for a protection system under the responsibility of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Security measures are taken to verify compliance with the treaty through inspections by the IAEA. The Treaty encourages cooperation in the field of peaceful nuclear technology and equal access by all States Parties to this technology, while security measures prevent the diversion of fissile material for the use of weapons. The provisions of the treaty, in particular Article VIII, paragraph 3, provide for a review of treaty allies every five years, a provision that was reaffirmed by The States Parties at the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference. The Conference of parties to review the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 2000 met in New York from 24 April to 19 May 2000. The conference was the first to meet at the 1995 conference, after the contract was permanently extended. States Parties have reviewed the implementation of the Treaty provisions since 1995, taking into account decisions on the principles and objectives of non-proliferation and disarmament of nuclear weapons and the strengthening of the Treaty review process, as well as the Resolution on the Middle East adopted at the 1995 Conference. The convention is named after the Japanese city of Minamata.
