The nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), was adopted in 1968, came into force in 1970, and was indefinitely extended in 1995. It now has 187 States parties. Five of them are nuclear-weapon States (Britain, China, France, Russian Federation, United States), pledged to negotiate in good faith to rid the world of nuclear weapons. The rest of the membership is committed not to develop, acquire or possess nuclear weapons. The Treaty is generally viewed as a cornerstone of international nuclear security.
