I have a Model United Nations (MUN) confernence this week, and I was wondering about the reasons for why India & Pakistan haven't signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as the NPT is an issue in the conference; several countries with nuclear weapons (France, UK, USA, etc) have signed the treaty despite having nuclear weapons, so why can't India and Pakistan sign it as well? Especially since India has the first-strike ban policy in place.

SImply India and Pakistan don't trust each other. India has a civilian government and Pakistan has a general has the head of its country. That's the short of it in under 100 words.

India and Pakistan CANT sign the NPT and retain nuclear weapons. THe treaty only legally allows for 5 nations to retain nuclear weapons, those that tested them before 1967: US, Soviet Union (and spin offs), UK, France and China. All other nations agree to give up nuclear weapons on signing the NPT.
