UNA RESPUESTA MULTILATERAL A LA PROLIFERACIÓN NUCLEAR: LAS PERSPECTIVAS DE LA CONFERENCIA DE REVISIÓN DE 2010 DEL TRATADO DE NO PROLIFERACIÓN NUCLEAR.

This paper analyses the prospects opened to the next Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference in 2010. An international environment dominated by the new American Foreign Policy and its positive implications over other international actors might favor the finding of measures to strength the international nonproliferation regime. The main issues that need an urgent treatment are the reinforcement of safeguards against proliferation, only possible if meaningful reductions of nuclear weapons are agreed among nuclear states, and the international reaction and sanctions to states in non-compliance with the engagements from the NPT and the AIEA, or that withdraw after being accused of noncompliance. The outcome of the Review Conference will need to be complemented by the promotion of other legal international instruments such as the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), the Anti-ballistic missiles Treaty (ABC), or the Treaty banning the productions of fissile material for nuclear weapons. The path to nuclear zero is designed. It is up to states to decide to take it or not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
