UN Nuclear

A study by the Arms Control Association finds the United States failed to make progress on key nuclear disarmament issues over the last three years, but did achieve important steps on nuclear materials security and strengthening nonproliferation norms, namely the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The MacArthur-supported report is the third in a series that measures progress on nonproliferation, disarmament, and nuclear security issues. It evaluated the records of China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea, which each possess nuclear weapons. The report also examined Iran and Syria, states where proliferation concerns exist. The Arms Control Association is a recipient of the MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions.
