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.
