History - Negotiating the Treaty Timeline
he mid-1960s saw progress on a nonproliferation treaty,
with a conceptual version approved by the UN General Assembly in 1965.
The treaty was completed and opened for signature and ratification by individual
states in 1968, and entered into force in 1970.
| 1965 |
On April 3, 2007, Uzbekistan ratified the CANWFZ treaty. The first
session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2010 NPT Review Conference
is held from April 30 to May 11 in Vienna, Austria. The PrepCom adopts
an agenda on May 8th when the lone holdout Iran consents to revised
language. Iran had objected to language in the originally proposed
agenda "reaffirming the need for full compliance with the Treaty"
because it believed this language only targeted alleged noncompliance
by Iran rather than the possible noncompliance by any non-nuclear
or nuclear weapons state. Iran agrees to the agenda with the addition
of a footnote stating that the members understand "the reference in
the agenda to ‘reaffirming the need for full compliance with the Treaty’
to mean that it will consider compliance with all the provisions of the Treaty."
On July 27 2007 the United States announces that it has reached agreement
with India on the terms governing the U.S. supply of nuclear equipment and
technology. Under the agreement, which still requires congressional approval,
the United States would help India to find a supply of nuclear fuel even if
India were to test another nuclear weapon. Critics charge that this gives
India a better deal than countries who have signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT); India has never signed the NPT.
