The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), established in 1968, aims to curtail nuclear arms proliferation. The treaty's main objectives are to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and advance disarmament efforts. It is built on the premise of fostering international cooperation while striving toward a world without nuclear weapons. By creating a framework for dialogue among nuclear and non-nuclear states, the NPT has played a crucial role in managing nuclear challenges, although it has faced criticism and challenges regarding compliance and the need for more robust disarmament measures.
