| Ghosts of the Nonaligned Past: Debate on U.S. Compliance with NPT’s Article VI

Blake Narendra1

Analysis of the negotiation pro cess of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) exposes a stark contrast between the Article VI text ratified by the Conference of Parties and the expectation of the nonaligned states. The United States has based the argument for its compliance on a strict interpretation of Article VI. Conversely, critics have incorporated context and the drafters’ intent to argue that the United States underestimated the depth of its commitments. Nonnuclear-weapon states (NNWS) have based their allegations of U.S. noncompliance on the fact that it defied the purpose of the NPT, which includes the conclusion of two other arms control negotiations in the form of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty (FMCT).
