Описание: At a time when the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is facing serious challenges, the collapse or erosion of the NPT would undoubtedly worsen the nuclear and broader international security and energy landscape by undermining the nonproliferation norm it created, disrupting the framework on which the peaceful cooperation on nuclear energy occurs, diminishing future prospects for further arms reductions and disarmament and weakening the security of all states alike, whether or not they possess nuclear weapons.
