ICAN Briefing Note on NPT and TPNW Complementarity

Published by: International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
Description: This briefing note explores the complementary between the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), demonstrating that the TPNW was carefully crafted to reinforce, complement, and build on the 1968 NPT, which obligates its parties to negotiate further legal measures to achieve nuclear disarmament. It shows how both treaties are an integral and permanent part of the international nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament architecture, and have the same goal at their core: a nuclear-weapon-free world.
