Introduction
    In terms of idealizing the human society, it is significant to have mutual consents over the expansion of the preventive measures taken over the threats to the mankind i.e. the problems related to the global expansion of the nuclear weapon development in this context fits the best. These days, the ongoing debate among the scholars is about the future of the human civilization given that the problem of nuclear weapon expansion is beyond the thinking limits of people; some nations like Iran and North Korea has already declared their nuclear programs which imply the sense of global threat.
To prevent this tendency, in the year 1968, Nuclear Proliferation Treaty which was the venture of UN was signed by a group of nations to use the nuclear power for positive purposes. In the modern context, the role and significance of NPT has grown because expansion of the nuclear weapons is perceived as the global threat; the future opportunities of the treaty are prominent and there is a great need of putting the so called ‘diverse thoughts’ over one table so that the common interests of the people are satisfied with effect.
The Contextual Framework of the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty
    At first, it is important to note that the context and relevance of the NPT dates back to the gray shades of the World War II when Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two major cities of Japan, were destroyed by the Nuclear bombing by America as a response to the attack of Japan over Pearl Ha
or. That was the event which enforced the civilized society of the globe to rethink over the issue of development of the nuclear energy based weapons as they had the capacity to make the human civilization extinct from planet earth. In other words, the growth of ambitious efforts to gain the components of the nuclear energy factors along with their formulation, testing and application for explosive purposes was felt globally. Till 1960s, there were literally no rules and global regulations to prevent this onset of destruction. However, the formation of United Nations and its intervention with the development of the nuclear weapon resulted in the form development of a global consent given to a form of a documented claim made by all in favor of disarming the world from nuclear weapon.
    In response to the same, the year 1968
ought forward the landmark document, the detailed provisions of the nuclear proliferation treaty, the NPT, which was open for signatures. The objectives of the treaty were obvious; the nations who were rich with the nuclear resources would be a part of this treaty so that they can contribute significantly towards the controlling of the negative usages of the nuclear weapons across globe. The purpose was to stop the events like nuclear bombing in WW II to happen again. The global formulation, debate and discussions over the relevance of this treaty kept on lingering in the minds of the policymakers of the various nations until 197o when the treaty came into force. In 1995, 191 nations had signed the treaty as a promise for not using nuclear weapons against each other in any context of war. (N. A. 2017)
    Further, the roles of the five states holding the supreme power in terms of nuclear weapons were to play the decisive role in this context. These five states were America, Russia, France, Germany and China. The objective of the NPT was—it is still perceived as one of the most positive roles of the treaty—to
