Trump's hint that nuclear testing could begin added to the concern

Kathmandu. The lobal legal structure built to control nuclear weapons is seen to be under severe pressure in 2026. As this system, which has been helping to avert a nuclear crisis for decades, is getting weaker, experts believe that the international security shields are weakening. Two important events at the beginning of next year will make the future of nuclear control even more uncertain. On February 5, the last major bilateral nuclear treaty between the US and Russia, New Start, will expire.

Similarly, Revcon, a review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), is being held in New York in April. This conference, which is held once in four to five years, is considered as an effort to keep the NPT active. But in the last two conferences, 191 member states have not been able to agree on a common final document, and it is expected that the same result will happen this time as well.

At a recent online conference of the United Nations, Alexandra Bell, senior official of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said that the upcoming Revcon will be very difficult. According to him, the current situation and the possibility of the near future have darkened the picture of nuclear weapons control.

Anton Klopkov, director of Russia's think-tank Center for Energy and Security Studies, responded more strongly and expressed the view that the arms control structure is close to complete disintegration.
