The 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is one of the most controversial instruments in international law, provoking fierce debate as to its interpretation. This book argues that countries with nuclear weapons misrepresent the Treaty to prevent other states from developing peaceful nuclear energy, holding back nuclear disarmament in the process.
