Brief: Reporting Practices in the NPT: Historical Development and Future Options

Reporting Practices in the NPT: Historical Development and Future Options examines the evolution of reporting within the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review process and sets out practical options for strengthening reporting beyond the current cycle.

The brief is organised into four sections:

  • The first section traces the development of reporting within the NPT review process from the 1995 Review and Extension Conference through the 10th review cycle.
  • The second section analyses national implementation reports submitted during the 10th review cycle, examining the scale and structure of reporting by non-nuclear-weapon States (NNWS) and assessing divergences in the reports submitted by nuclear-weapon States (NWS) to the 2022 Review Conference (RevCon).
  • The third section examines States Parties’ positions on proposals to strengthen reporting during the current review cycle.
  • The final section outlines potential pathways for strengthening reporting practices for both NWS and NNWS.

The research is part of BASIC’s “NPT Support Project”, which is generously funded by the UK Government’s Counter Proliferation and Arms Control Centre (CPACC). The report does not reflect the views of the UK Government.

mhbrief

 

“BASIC’s depth of knowledge and administrative competence makes it an excellent partner in the field of military nuclear capability and arms control”

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, GCMG British diplomat

“At a time when transatlantic relationships are under tension, BASIC's role as a source of authoritative analysis is more important than ever.”

Baron Rees of Ludlow Astronomer Royal

“BASIC makes a vital contribution to sustaining recognition that nearly 35 years after the end of the Cold War nuclear weapons continue to put at risk the future of humankind. BASIC is especially to be commended for doing this by fostering dialogue and understanding.”

Peter Jenkins CMG UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency 2001-06

``For about 35 years, in the pursuit of nuclear disarmament, BASIC have championed the cause of mutuality of security. Their ability to engage diversity of views and opinion has attracted deserved admiration.``

Baron Browne of Ladyton Vice Chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative and former UK Secretary of State for Defence

``For more than three decades, BASIC has challenged conventional thinking on national security matters, and inspired new ways of addressing and solving old problems. I expect it to continue to play this vital role for decades to come.``

Andreas Persbo Director, Open Nuclear Network
