UNIDIR, in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, is organizing a series of nuclear-related events in the lead-up to the 2026 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference. The conference is central to evaluating the implementation of the treaty and shaping its future direction. These events aim to enhance understanding of key issues and deepen engagement with the NPT review processes, procedures and potential outcomes. The series is sponsored by Switzerland.
The sixth and final event in this series will focus on transparency and accountability, which are essential to building confidence in international agreements, including the NPT. All nuclear‑weapon States (NWS) have provided information regarding their obligations under Article VI and related commitments, including those contained in the 2010 NPT Action Plan. Over the course of the current review cycle, however, calls have grown for NWS to demonstrate greater transparency and accountability in the fulfilment of these obligations and commitments. This event will bring together experts to examine the role of transparency and accountability in the context of NPT disarmament obligations and commitments, and to consider potential steps for strengthening these practices at the upcoming conference and beyond.
