From the publication:
Introduction IN 1963, US PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY forecast that by the 1990s, over 20 countries around the world would possess nuclear weapons. It was a frightening prediction for a world already shocked by a nuclear missile crisis over Cuba and an escalating Cold War arms race. Within only a few years of that prediction, however, the international community had taken decisive steps toward averting the President's nuclear nightmare. In large numbers, countries began endorsing the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, commonly known as the NPT - and similar regional treaties - aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons while promising nuclear disarmament negotiations among the five "declared" Nuclear Weapon States. Today, some 185 countries are parties to the NPT and it has been made permanent.
