    The review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty took place from August 1-26 at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The treaty, which enjoys near-universal support from 191 signatory states, aims to prevent nuclear war by encouraging disarmament and limiting the spread of nuclear weapons. As the world remembers Hiroshima, renewing commitment to the increasingly fragile treaty is crucial, as the alternative of not doing so is unthinkable.
