I agree it's ridiculous hypocrisy--by a power who disregards something to suggest its neighbor be bound by the same words said power is effectively ignoring.
The NPT needs a formalized process that outlines how it can and will be modified, what are the qualifications for how you become a member, and what are penalties for not properly participating.
The NPT isn't enforceable--and when it was written, it was never designed to be. Why? It was written during the Cold War, at a time when the possessors of nuclear arsenals were NATO (U.S. & Allies) and the Warsaw Pact (the Soviet Sphere/Communist world).
Thus it doesn't carry the weight of international law--just the honor system, where the parties are entire nations. The original parties were infact groups of nations (NATO and Warsaw Pact).
For your changes to work, there would need to be a major rewrite and reratification of the treaty--which is labor intensive, requires much ado in negotiation, and would likely be something most countries will either avoid ratification or ignore it, Effectively putting us back at square one.
Your proposal would require the creation of the NWO by significantly expanding the power of the UN, namely by the creation of a world police force, granting the UN sole power to enforce international law by any means necessary.
Such an action is unacceptable to the free world and thus cannot be a possible solution.
LOL, what? All I said that needs to be done is the non proliferation process be formalized and rules set forth, else it remain a worthless document as it is today. It's effectively obsolete and should be discarded or re-written immediately, else the U.S. lose all respectable right to refer to it again. Unless you don't mind looking as hyprocrytical as the Chinese did, that is.
