Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Canada has worked strenuously to promote and reinforce efforts that, directly or indirectly, contribute to constraining the proliferation of nuclear weapons and materials that can be used to produce nuclear weapons.
Canada advocates three essential international legal instruments as a part of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime: a universal Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to prohibit the spread of nuclear weapons and materials; a fully in-force Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) to prohibit all nuclear test explosions; and a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) to prohibit the production of materials that can be used to produce nuclear weapons.
Canada’s strict regulation of nuclear exports and support for the Global Partnership Program also contributes to the objective of nuclear non-proliferation.
