| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Amongst the challenges that bedevil the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) today, the NPT Review Conference (RevCon) 2010 will have to particularly handle two issues: one, right of non-nuclear weapon states (NNWS) under Article IV over the entire nuclear fuel cycle; two, identification by nuclear weapon states (NWS) of credible moves under Article VI for realising disarmament. In addressing the two interlinked issues, the RevCon has an opportunity to refocus the 40-year-old treaty into an effective instrument of non-proliferation and disarmament-its original twin objectives. The article also recommends the role that India can play in helping the NPT overcome its challenges. As a non-member, India has no direct stake in the treaty, but non-proliferation is an objective that furthers India's national security. |
