  • @aamengineer The NPT is often seen to be based on a central bargain: “the NPT non-nuclear-weapon states agree never to acquire nuclear weapons and the NPT nuclear-weapon states in exchange agree to share the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology and to pursue nuclear disarmament aimed at the ultimate elimination of their nuclear arsenals”.

    The treaty recognizes five states as nuclear-weapon states: the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and China (also the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council).

    Copy paste from wiki.

    Under NPT only those 5 states can possess weapons.

    Article VI of the NPT represents the only binding commitment in a multilateral treaty to the goal of disarmament by the nuclear-weapon States.. So its the p5 countries first who should disarm, the condition is not met yet becoz
    The wording of the NPT's Article VI arguably imposes only a vague obligation on all NPT signatories to move in the general direction of nuclear and total disarmament, saying, "Each of the Parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament."Under this interpretation, Article VI does not strictly require all signatories to actually conclude a disarmament treaty. Rather, it only requires them "to negotiate in good faith.

    not necessary only 5, once signed then india would be recognized as another nuclear power country. and regarding disarmament, the condition is not strict as explained abov.

    regarding CTBT, this treaty is itself not ratified yet....Japan is trying to find a way out, may be.so that in place of NPT atleast CTBT is accepted.

    We are sorry for the thread going wayward but it is not the moderators who take a thread down. Circumstances took it. It was the most active thread and all hell broke loose here and everyone was posting his queries here.

    I initially was hesitant and even quoted why was history being discussed the day before but when people were still posting qns, We just answered them.

    I am not so sure if indeed people feel the moderators took the thread in a wayward direction either.

    Anyways, ATB for the exam and hope everyone rocks it.

  • @aamengineer

    India's recognition as a Nuclear weapons state, is it possible under NPT as the cutoff date is 1968 and we are a non-nuclear state then.

    Would the article be amended to include India under special clause as a Nuclear Weapons State.

    yes...that is one major condition what India has put for signing for NPT. If india is considered NWS then only it will sign..
