Abstract
The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) has played a central role in sustaining the non-proliferation system. The effectiveness of the NPT has been secured by verifying its obligations through the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that have been in place since the treaty entered into force in 1970. However, its limitations came to be known through unprecedented cases which surfaced after the end of cold war in the early 1990s. The purpose of this article is to examine how effective the NPT has been in preventing nuclear proliferation by analysing the course of events through the 1990s.
