A community portal about Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is an international treaty, opened for signature on July 1, 1968 to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. There are 188 sovereign states party to the treaty. However, two out of eight confirmed nuclear powers, and one unconfirmed nuclear power neither signed nor ratified the treaty. One further nuclear power ratified the treaty and then later withdrew. The treaty was proposed by Ireland, and Finland was the first to sign. In New York City, on May 11, 1995, the parties to the treaty decided by consensus to extend the treaty indefinitely and without conditions.
