Outcome of the 8th NPT Review Conference and 
Prospects for the NPT

Visiting Professor 
The 8th NPT Review 
Conference took place in 
New York from May 3 to 
28, 2010. There was a 
shared perception between 
Nuclear Weapon States(NWS) and 
Non-nuclear Weapon States(NNWS) 
that they should not repeat the “failure” 
of the last review conference, which 
ended without adopting the final 
document. The followings are the 
background of this year’s NPT Review 
Conference. First of all, as North 
Korea conducted nuclear tests in 2006 
and 2009, and Iran continues to 
develop its uranium enrichment 
program despite the sanctions imposed 
by the international community, 
suspicion about Iran’s nuclear 
development was further amplified. 
This suggests that the NPT Regime is 
now facing grave challenges both 
internally and externally. In this regard, 
many have expressed their concerns 
that if this year’s conference ends in 
failure, the very existence of the NPT 
Regime can be jeopardized. Secondly, 
with an increase in the number of 
(potential) nuclear reactor states, 
nuclear weapon states are faced with an 
increasing need to control those states’ 
energy program within the NPT 
Regime. This was borne out of a 
concern that (potential) nuclear reactor 
states’ nuclear energy programs could 
be used to produce nuclear weapons or 
diverted to the hands of nuclear terror 
groups for various purposes. Thirdly, 
taking into consideration that current 
level of control and supervision of 
highly enriched uranium is relatively low 
in a number of states, importance of 
physical protection and security of 
those nuclear materials has been 
highlighted. Also, there was a shared 
perception that the continuation of the 
NPT Regime is closely related to 
nuclear security. 
Sixth, nuclear security will be more 
closely connected with the three pillars 
of the NPT, namely nuclear 
disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation, 
and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
