In May 2010, nearly 190 nations will meet in New York to assess the implementation of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and to chart a path forward for progress on its three pillars: nonproliferation, disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy. This Review Conference, held every five years, is critical to ensuring the Treaty survives the onslaught of current challenges and will require leadership from key states, particularly the United States. This report lays out the debates surrounding this essential treaty on issues such as verification, disarmament, the nuclear fuel cycle, and others.  It includes a detailed pictorial timeline of the NPT, as well key treaty-related documents.  The report is a useful guide for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this cornerstone of the international nonproliferation regime.
