Russia – Nuclear Non-proliferation: 0.75
The Muskoka Declaration included commitments to two of Russia’s nonproliferation objectives. The G8 recognized the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty between Russia and the United States as a “welcome” disarmament effort that other states should join “in order to promote international stability and undiminished security for all.”
The G8 updated the results of the Global Partnership against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction in order to develop “options for programming and financing beyond 2012.” However, an extension of the Global Partnership past 2012 was not promised by the G8 leaders.
In addition, the G8 leaders discussed the results of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference and promised to fulfill its recommendations as well as urge all other states to “take and support resolute action to address non-compliance with the Treaty’s non-proliferation obligations, including safeguards obligations.”
Russia has earned a score of 0.75 for achieving all of its nuclear non-proliferation objectives except for extending the Global Partnership.
