The focus is on three main?aspects: the interplay between the TPNW and existing?legal instruments and international law; the verification?provisions in the TPNW; and the consequences of signing?the TPNW for security cooperation with the designated?nuclear weapon states of the 1968 Treaty on the Non-?Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (Non‑Proliferation?Treaty, NPT). Through a comparative analysis of these?national reviews, the paper seeks a better understanding of?how the TPNW is seen and interpreted by various?European states.
