Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) should be abolished in its current form.

Refutations Nuclear Weapons Ban The world also moved towards banning chemical weapons and limiting the development of ICBM's by signing pacts and treaties which prove to be ineffective. It's also highly misleading to point to the fact that the U.S. and other various nuclear powers have decreased their nuclear stockpiles. This is simply because instead of 50,000 Hiroshima bombs we only need a couple thousands "Bravo" bombs with accurate guidence systems. Nuclear weapons have proggressed rapidly in terms of accuracy and delivery methods, we don't need as much. The nuclear 5 are not responsible when it comes to limiting their own nuclear stockpile because they already have nuclear weapons which gives them a lot of destructive and political power they want, but they are responsible when it comes to proper nuclear weapon usage by having complex safeguards and not using nuclear weapons no matter how many large conflicts they become involved in. Inbalance of power North Korea attacked South Korea when the U.S. had sent a large amount of forces to fight them with the U.S. being a nuclear power at the time. The U.S. was dedicated to defending South Korea perhaps even moreso than the South Koreans themselves and that didn't force North Korea to the negotiating table. South Korea was able to be defended without the help of nuclear weapons. It is also likely that if South Korea had obtained nuclear weapons with U.S. assistance then why wouldn't the USSR help North Korea obtain nuclear weapons as well during the war? The Korean war would have been much more disastrous had both sides possesed nuclear weapons. Responsible Powers My opponent provides no legitimate reason as to why the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unjustified or why the surrender terms were "unfair". In my previous sources I've shown that the Potsdam Declaration was more than fair, simply asking that Japan turn over it's war criminals, disband it's military, and allow an allied occupation, all of which is customary when a nation is defeated. Japan wasn't forced to give up anything beyond that. They ignored the terms and due to the fact that an invasion seemed more costly to the civilians of Japan and the soldiers of the U.S. than the bombings nuclear weapons were used. The U.S. used nuclear weapons to save more lives and quickly end a time, life, and resource consuming war. Proliferation/"Rap Sheets" The Nuclear Powers wish to keep to themselves the ability to produce and develop nuclear weapons at the cost of violating international treaties and law.Each of the Nuclear 5 have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world at least one time over.The Nuclear 5 have no interest or desire in letting other countries have the same ability to be able to wipe out the planet on their own terms. This gives the Nuclear 5 a clear incentive to uphold the NPT regardless of their decietful behavior. If China gives nuclear weapons to North Korea, the U.S. will nuclear weapons to South Korea and vice versa and son on.ConclusionThe NPT is a necessary treaty that avoids too many states from acquiring nuclear weapons. A ban is unrealistic, as nuclear bans get in the way of the interest of the Nuclear 5. However the NPT is very well within the interst of the Nuclear 5 to enforce it to avoid various countries which may or may not be stable and may or may not have nuclear safeguards. When dealing with nuclear weapons you can't be too sure.While the Nuclear 5 may not be peaceful or honest, there is no doubt that they are responsible when it comes to owning nuclear weapons. They refrain from using them in war despite being "by no means peaceful". My opponent weakley attacks the bombings of Japan but gives no reason as to why the Potsdam Declaration was unfair or why a costly invasion wasn't needed. Nevertheless despite being in large conflicts and a long history of being deceitful, the Nuclear 5 have definately shown restraint and responsibility, making them fit to enforce the NPT
