One of the main priorities of the 2026 NPT Review Conference, due to commence next week, must be full and effective implementation of its 1995 resolution on the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, and the consensus decision of 2000 Review Conference on urging the Israeli regime to accede to the NPT and to place all its clandestine nuclear facilities under the IAEA’s comprehensive safeguards. The 1995 resolution - as the 2010 Review Conference stressed - was an essential element of the outcome of 1995 Review and Extension Conference and of the basis upon which the Treaty had been extended indefinitely without a vote in 1995. It would remain valid until its goals and objectives had been achieved. More than 30 years of undue delay in the implementation of the 1995 resolution and decisions of other NPT Review Conferences on the Middle East, has seriously undermined the Treaty’s credibility and relevance, and placed effectiveness of decisions of its review process under question. It also has gravely endangered regional and international peace and security, particularly given the newly repeated and brutal aggressions of the Israeli regime, the commission by its armed forces of all four core international crimes all together and simultaneously, and more importantly the threat by the officials of this regime to use nuclear weapons in Gaza and elsewhere. This is a historic lesson: procrastination, inaction and appeasement only embolden aggressors and criminals. This unjustified delay must stop, and to that end, the Review Conference must make a decisive decision ensuring full, effective and urgent implementation of all its resolutions and decisions on the Middle East. Otherwise, it would be a failed conference.
