Overview:
The world has witnessed sixty-four years pass since the 1945 nuclear attacks on Japan. Few people today understand the immense power of these weapons – or steps taken by the global community to prevent any future use of them.
On July 27, 2009, a panel of experts reviewed the destructive potential of a nuclear weapon, and discussed the role of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) as the keystone agreements to halt the spread of nuclear weapons technology.
Additionally, the panel discussed the nonproliferation recommendations in America’s Strategic Posture: The Final Report of the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States, facilitated by USIP, on U.S. actions to help halt the spread of nuclear weapons technology. Experts assessed the nuclear proliferation threats posed by Iran, North Korea and other countries, and how the NPT and other measures can help resolve the challenges they present. Finally, experts presented their perspectives on additional nonproliferation measures that the U.S. and other countries could consider taking.
