The President-designate of the Eleventh Review Conference is Ambassador Do Hung Viet of Viet Nam. The 2026 NPT Review Conference is expected to consider a range of issues, including the universality of the Treaty; nuclear disarmament, including specific practical measures; nuclear non-proliferation, including the promotion and strengthening of safeguards; measures to advance the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, including safety and security; regional disarmament and non-proliferation, including the implementation of the 1995 resolution on the Middle East; measures to address withdrawal from the Treaty; and ways to strengthen the review process to improve its effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, accountability, coordination and continuity. In doing so, the Conference will also take into account the evolving international security environment and recent developments affecting the Treaty and the broader nuclear non-proliferation regime. The NPT entered into force in 1970 and was extended indefinitely in 1995. The Treaty is regarded as the cornerstone of the global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime. It was designed to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons, to further nuclear disarmament and to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Conferences to review the operation of the Treaty have been held at five-year intervals since the Treaty went into effect in 1970. While States Parties have consistently sought to achieve consensus on an outcome document, doing so has become increasingly challenging in recent cycles.","categories":["Meetings &
