In 1995, Arab states won the support to create a zone in the Middle East free of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
The 2010 NPT Review Conference then agreed to begin negotiations on the nuclear weapons-free zone (NWFZ). UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon would name a facilitator for the 2012 Conference in the Middle East who will then report to the 2015 Review Conference and its Preparatory Committees.
