Preparations for the 2015 NPT Review Conference (325 KB, PDF)
A review of the Non-Proliferation Treaty is held every five years in order to assess the implementation of the treaty’s provisions and to agree further measures to strengthen it.
The success of past Review Conferences has been mixed.

The question of whether the nuclear weapon states have sufficiently fulfilled the requirements of Article VI on nuclear disarmament continues to be contentious.
The next Review Conference is due to be held in New York from 27 April to 22 May 2015.
