From the publication:
Beyond the Bomb In April and May 1995, at the United Nations in New York, an important international conference took place on the future of the Non-Proliferatlon Treaty (NPT) - the Treaty against the spread of nuclear weapons that came into force in March 1970. Although strongly opposed by 'non-aligned' countries such as Mexico, Indonesia, and Nigeria in the two-year preparatory process, the final outcome of the 1995 conference was the indefinite extension of the Treaty. A common desire for a thorough and unprejudiced assessment of twenty-rave years of NPT history was the main motive behind the Amsterdam-based Transnationallnstitute (TNI) and World Information Service on Energy (WISE) organizing a series of seminars. Scientists, writers, government off'acials, and activitsts from diverse parts of the world and with different viewpoints were brought together to discuss the history and meaning of the NPT and the future of nuclear (dis)armament. During the seminars a number of lesser known – and in the international NPT debate generally underestimated, or even completely forgotten - aspects of the non-proliferation issue were raised.
