News: BASIC Launches NPT Monitor to Spur Transparency Around States’ Nuclear Commitments

BASIC is pleased to announce the launch of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Monitor, a free web tool to enhance and simplify the monitoring of countries’ progress on the landmark 1970 treaty. It provides clear, evidence-based information on how states are implementing the 2010 NPT Action Plan, tracking progress across the NPT’s three pillars: disarmament, non-proliferation, and peaceful uses of nuclear science and technologies.

“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.``
