International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

Pakistan is neither a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) nor the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

Pakistan operates two nuclear reactors for civilian energy production and plans are underway to double this capacity.

Estimates put Pakistan’s nuclear stockpile at between 24 and 48 nuclear warheads, deliverable by land based missiles and aircraft. Sources suggest there is enough nuclear material stockpiled in Pakistan to create a further 50 nuclear warheads.
