In 2014, EWI and the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kazakhstan hosted the third annual Nuclear Discussion Forum (NDF), a series of off-the-record meetings that brought representatives of United Nations Member States together to discuss key achievements, opportunities and challenges that lie ahead of the 2015 Treaty on the Non-proliferations of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Review Conference.

We believe this report serves two basic purposes. First, it is a timely document that blends content from the Forum’s rich discussions with a substantive background on the most prominent issues that emerged during the sessions. Second, the report makes a number of actionable recommendations for consideration by the United Nations First Committee and other disarmament bodies.
