Summary
A statement delivered by Amelia Broodryk on May 7, 2010, at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference in New York, representing a group of non-governmental experts from New Agenda Coalition (NAC) countries. The statement outlines seven specific criteria for measuring the success of the 2010 Review Conference in advancing international peace, security, and the goal of a nuclear-weapons-free world.
Key insights
- The group of non-governmental experts, established in 2007 to support the New Agenda Coalition (NAC), supports the views in Working Paper 8 submitted by Egypt on behalf of the seven NAC members, though they acknowledge civil society may hold slightly different opinions.
- The group defines the success of the 2010 Review Conference based on seven specific outcomes: concrete agreement on implementing the 1995 Resolution on the Middle East (including a regional conference within a year); increased efforts to engage India, Pakistan, Israel, and the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea to join or rejoin the NPT as non-nuclear-weapon states; reaffirmation of the 1995 and 2000 Review Conference outcomes; the creation of a preparatory process for a nuclear-weapons-free world; the elimination of all nuclear weapons by Nuclear Weapon States in line with the 1996 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion; the involvement of all stakeholders and the IAEA in creating a non-discriminatory global model for the nuclear fuel cycle; and the establishment of a follow-up mechanism to oversee implementation.
- The speaker emphasizes that the 2010 Review Conference is a unique opportunity to restore confidence in the NPT and accelerate the achievement of a world without nuclear weapons, arguing against lowering expectations to the point of lacking a clear program of action.
