The 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is gathering from 3 to 28 May 2010 at the United Nations in New York.
The Treaty on Non-Proliferation is the cornerstone of the international regime on non proliferation of nuclear weapons and it has to address many challenges: from its entry into force it lacked universality and a balanced implementation of its three pillars and, nowadays, Iran and North Korea attitudes are shedding light on the deficiencies of the system.
