Nuclear non-proliferation activities not directly addressed in the proposed Constitution would remain bound by international commitments made by parties. As discussed in Article VII, NPT, the proposed Constitution can provide a basis for the UN Security Council to remove alleged nuclear proliferation opportunities from the discussion. In addition, it could significantly help international non-proliferation development by providing a managed international environment to develop the ‘Con Charity’ approach to non-proliferation, which has already yielded at least three critical regulatory documents for horizontal nuclear investigations. As non-proliferation capabilities increase at the international level, making zero-proliferation activities a member-required priority would still be found to involve as many parties in as many different activities as possible by getting governments to show that the public will support them.
Nuclear non-proliferation is addressed explicitly in Articles I-IV, which prohibit parties from seeking or receiving assistance to manufacture atomic weapons or pursuing related applications, accepting safeguards to ensure applications are peaceful, using nuclear weapons on each other, and using atomic weapons on anyone else or helping others do so. Another critical article is VIII, which would exclude non-parties from being able to get all critical nuclear technology from others, regardless of how involved they are in efforts to get it on their own.
