Despite intensive consultations, the Conference was not able to reach agreement on the substantive part of the draft Final Document.</p> <p> The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote co-operation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. The NPT represents the only binding commitment in a multilateral treaty to the goal of disarmament by the nuclear-weapon States.</p> <p> Opened for signature in 1968, the Treaty entered into force in 1970. Since its entry into force, the NPT has been the cornerstone of global nuclear non-proliferation regime. With 190 States parties, including the five nuclear-weapon States, the Treaty is the most widely adhered to multilateral disarmament agreement.</p> <hr> <h2>Final Documents of the 2015 NPT Review Conference</h2> <h3><a href="https://undocs.org/NPT/CONF.2015/50(PartI)">NPT/CONF.2015/50 (Part I) - Organization and work of the Conference</a></h3> <h3><a href="https://undocs.org/NPT/CONF.2015/50(PartII)">NPT/CONF.2015/50 (Part II) - Documents issued at the Conference</a></h3> <h3><a href="https://undocs.org/NPT/CONF.2015/50(PartIII)">NPT/CONF.2015/50 (Part III) - Final Document: Summary records and list of participants</a></h3> <h2>Final Documents of the 2010 NPT Review Conference</h2> <h3><a href="https://undocs.org/NPT/CONF.2010/50 (VOL.I)">Final Document - Volume I (NPT/CONF.2010/50 (Vol. I))</a></h3> <p>Part I — Review of the operation of the Treaty, as provided for in its article VIII (3), taking into account the decisions and the resolution adopted by the 1995 Review and Extension Conference and the Final Document of the 2000 Review Conference — Conclusions and recommendations for follow-on actions</p> <p>Part II — Organization and work of the Conference</p> <h3> <a href="https://undocs.org/NPT/CONF.2010/50 (VOL.
