Originally passed in 1970, the treaty is meant to limit nuclear weapons to the five established nuclear powers: The United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France and China. While the NPT may have helped prevent the spread of nukes, it hasn't been flawless. India, Pakistan and North Korea, all non-signers of the agreement, have tested the bomb. It is also widely believes that Israel, which is a signatory, has the weapon but the state has never acknowledged that.
