BASIC is pleased to announce the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Monitor, a new project being developed by our Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme.
The NPT Monitor project, led by Senior Policy Fellow Dr Manuel Herrera, aims to address a core concern that has been widely expressed by the NPT community, namely that without a comprehensive, impartial, and accessible framework to help monitor the implementation of commitments made by NPT States parties, it is difficult to effectively track progress on the three “pillars” of the Treaty – disarmament, non-proliferation, and the peaceful uses of nuclear technologies. To address this concern, the NPT Monitor will institutionalise a methodologically rigorous, standardised process to analyse the implementation of commitments across all three pillars of the Treaty. The aim is to offer all stakeholders free, timely access to high quality, actionable data on the implementation of past agreements, establishing the Monitor as a go-to source of trusted information for officials, CSOs, and academics. The NPT Monitor project is funded by the generosity of Global Affairs Canada and the Foreign Ministry of the Netherlands.
