The United Nations Convention on Nuclear Disarmament has not reached any agreement. Russia has blocked the adoption of the Joint Declaration, questioning the draft document of the convention.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is reviewed every five years. Its purpose is to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. 191 countries have signed this treaty.

Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it prohibits participating countries from reducing their nuclear stockpile and purchasing other nuclear weapons.

Russia has objected to the draft document, citing serious concerns over military activities around Ukraine's nuclear plant, especially Zaporizhia.

A review meeting was also held in the year 2015. The participants also could not reach an agreement.

The United Nations Conference on Nuclear Disarmament was to be held in the year 2020 after 2015, but due to Corona, it was done in 2022.

A four-week conference in New York failed to reach a consensus. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has expressed grief over the lack of agreement.

Russia occupied Ukraine's Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant just days after the war began. Only after the consent of all the countries involved in the convention is the draft document finalized and given the form of the document.

The convention required the approval of all countries. Several countries, including the Netherlands and China, expressed disappointment that no consensus had been reached.
