Abstract

There are numerous treaties and agreements in the field of nuclear weapons that are agreed upon in order to establish solutions and mechanisms to clarify the same rules in the framework of international relations and to control and curb nuclear activities. The most important of these is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This article tries to examine and analyze these questions using descriptive-analytical method and based on the use of first-hand and second-hand sources, which are interpreted in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. And what is the implementation of the provisions of the treaty by the parties to the treaty, and more precisely, what kind of procedures are currently in place in relation to the NPT? Does the next procedure seek to preserve the principle of the treaty and facilitate its implementation, or does the NPT treaty undergo structural and amending changes, and to what extent does the next procedure comply with the rules of public international law? In order to answer these questions, this article is based on the assumption that the international legal system on the use of nuclear energy is based primarily on the security and monopoly of powerful states with nuclear materials and technology, and the promotional dimensions of treaties and Bilateral agreements, without any real obligation to ensure that the applicant countries have access to nuclear energy, place them under strict control systems and subject to unilateral judgment by the same powers.
