The term "Nuclear Weapon State" (NWS) and Non-Nuclear Weapon State (NNWS) is found in which one of the following treaties ?
Answer: D
The terms come from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The NPT of 1968 divides its parties into nuclear-weapon states, defined in Article IX(3) as those that had manufactured and exploded a nuclear weapon before 1 January 1967, and non-nuclear-weapon states, which undertake not to acquire nuclear weapons and to accept IAEA safeguards.
The Treaty of Westphalia (1648) and the Treaty of Versailles (1919) long predate nuclear weapons, and the SALT agreements were bilateral US-Soviet limits on strategic arms, not a treaty dividing states into these two categories.
