Twenty-five years after the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) came into force in 1970, parties to the treaty met to decide if the NPT "shall continue in force indefinitely, or shall be extended for an additional fixed period or periods." This collection contains documents obtained for a 2018 Critical Oral History Conference held in Rotterdam as well as oral history interviews conducted by Dr. Michal Onderco (Erasmus University Rotterdam). The transcript of the 2018 conference was published as Extending the NPT? A Critical Oral History of the 1995 Review and Extension Conference (2020). See also the Digital Archive Collection, "Non-Proliferation Treaty."
The 2018 conference Extending the NPT used critical oral history methodology to shed new light on the indefinite extension of the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in 1995.
