The multilateral field of arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation of nuclear weaponshas been marked by important developments in recent years; one of the most significant wasthe 2010 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference. After four weeks ofnegotiations in May 2010, states parties to the NPT adopted a final document for the first timesince 2000. In that final document, states agreed on 64 actions in order to implement theobligations contained in the three “pillars” of the NPT: nuclear disarmament, nuclear nonproliferation, and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. In addition, the final documentcontained a decision to endorse the convening of a conference for the establishment of a zonefree of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East and the appointment a Special Coordinator for that conference.In light of the context described above, Reaching Critical Will and the Geneva Centre forSecurity Policy (GCSP) cooperated in a project aimed at providing a platform for examining the degree of implementation and operationalization of the Action Plan. The research was made possible with a generous contribution by the Swiss Federal Department of ForeignAffairs. The project aimed to provide factual and clear information on the status of theimplementation of the three pillars of the NPT Action Plan. The research has been done through review of open source information. The research is not a full technical investigationof all related facts, but is an attempt to provide an overview of states’ compliance with theNPT Action Plan and to capture the most significant developments since May 2010. Theresearch has been carried out within the limits of available resources, such as time, publiclyavailable information, and limited responses from states to our requests for information.It is important to note that the Action Plan is a political document and the language is acarefully crafted compromise. Because the plan includes deliberately vague commitmentssuch as “encouraging,” “facilitate,” and “continue efforts,” it has been difficult to measureand quantify progress. In addition, the discrepancies in interpretation of the NPT remainunsolved in this Action Plan, opening it up for significant difference of opinion on what theactions specifically call for. It has been beyond the scope of this project to make a legalanalysis of such interpretation, which left us to focus on facts and general trends in order tomake our assessment.In order to assess implementation, we have used a system of “traffic lights”, signalling red,yellow, and green. The red traffic light indicates that to date, no concrete progress has beenmade in order to implement the action. The yellow light indicates that while some efforts havebeen detected, additional progress needs to be made in order to fully implement the action.The green light shows that states are making progress and are currently implementing theaction.
