Some measures were agreed to reduce the nuclear danger: bilateral arms-control agreements between the United States and the Soviet Union, restrictions on the testing of new weapons, and – above all – the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The aim of the NPT, signed in 1968, is the universal elimination of nuclear weapons: non-nuclear-weapon states commit not to acquire them, and the five states that officially possess them (the US, the United Kingdom, France, China, and Russia) commit to disarmament negotiations.
人们同意采取一切措施降低核威胁：美国和苏联的双边军备控制协议、限制新武器测试；以及——最重要的——核不扩散条约。1968年签署的核不扩散条约的目标是彻底消除核武器：无核武器国家承诺不尝试获得核武器，而已经正式拥有核武器的五个国家（美国、英国、法国、中国和俄罗斯）承诺进行裁军谈判。
