The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote disarmament, and ensure the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It distinguishes between nuclear-weapon states and non-nuclear-weapon states, with 191 members committed to its objectives. The treaty faces challenges such as technological advances and regional conflicts, but remains central to international security and non-proliferation efforts.
