Oxford Research Group and the British American Security Information Council (BASIC) worked together on a project designed to help ensure that the outcome of the 2005 Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Review Conference would strengthen both the NPT and the State Parties' commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament.

ORG and BASIC aimed to:

• Shape and refine a set of detailed recommendations during a series of consultations and discussions with UK and US government officials, and senior representatives from NPT delegations.
• Build support for the recommendations among NPT delegates and national governments (especially, but not limited to, those in Europe, North America and the Non-Aligned Movement) and countries comprising the New Agenda Coalition (NAG).
• Seek to develop policy positions that can overcome existing policy differences and unite national delegations to the NPT.
• Raise the level of awareness among politicians, journalists and other opinion shapers in Europe and North America, of key issues concerning the NPT and its implementation.
• In the build up to the Review Conference, ORG and BASIC produced a series of briefings for decision-makers and journalists exploring key issues surrounding the NPT.
