The 13th Republic of Korea-United Nations Joint Conference on Disarmament and Non-proliferation Issues provided a good opportunity to discuss a variety of issues related to the implementation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and thus, built momentum for better preparation for the 2015 NPT Review Conference. Held on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, on 4-5 December 2014, this annual event focused on issues that would constitute a basis for the Review Conference.The participants addressed challenges the 2015 Review Conference might face, including divergent views on disarmament, in particular on the interpretation of the step-by-step approach in nuclear arms reduction and the possibility of reaching an agreement on a concrete deadline for their elimination; the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction; the reduction of the role of nuclear weapons in national security concepts and military doctrines of NWS; addressing withdrawal from the NPT; and tension over Ukraine between inter alia the USA and the Russian Federation and its impact on further nuclear weapons reduction efforts.
