In his new study «The Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime, Present
and Prospects. Towards the NPT Review Conference of 2005,»
Ambassador Roland Timerbaev deals with different problems fac

might soon acquire nuclear weapons, and that presently between

duce nuclear explosive devices if they decide to take a nuclear
option, at present there exist only five

Pakistan and Israel). The Treaty, thus, is of an almost universal
nature, having gained adherence by 189 parties. The 1995 Review
and Extension Conference decided by consensus to extend it
indefinitely. The Treaty has been contributing to the growth of a
