Focus Questions

Focus Questions from Model UN's Topic Guide:

  1. How can the international community strengthen the enforcement mechanisms of nuclear non-proliferation treaties like the NPT and CTBT, particularly against non-compliant or non-signatory states? 
  2. What role should the United Nations Security Council play in ensuring equitable and effective implementation of nuclear treaties, given the power imbalance caused by the P5's nuclear capabilities and veto rights? 
  3. In what ways can international legal institutions, such as the International Court of Justice, be empowered to interpret and support compliance with nuclear non-proliferation agreements? 
  4. How should current treaties evolve to address the proliferation risks posed by dual-use nuclear technology and artificial intelligence in military systems?
  5. What strategies can be employed to encourage nuclear-armed states to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), despite their current security doctrines?
