Document Summary
Why do people resort to terrorist acts. Non-proliferation: certain states have been recognized as nuclear weapon states. Nuclear weapon states are classified as permanent members of un council. States should not share nuclear technology that do not have the technology. States that do not have the technology should not think of getting them. Appeal to states to resolve their issues through diplomacy. 3rd pillar: peaceful use of nuclear technology. Important because states are trying to diversify in terms of energy. One source of energy from water (build a huge dam) or get it through oil. Countries try to find many ways of doing that. One way that is cleaner is nuclear energy. You can use nuclear energy for nuclear isotopes for research and for energy. Countries like japan literally rely on nuclear technology for its energy supply. Npt has room for states to use nuclear energy to generate power.
