World powers signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 50 years ago.

"Good faith" is hardly a legally binding term, but world powers wove it into a landmark nuclear deal they signed 50 years ago.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was designed to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and in time, eliminate them completely.

But it did not outline the concrete steps needed to destroy existing stockpiles.

So, what does it take to fend off this threat? And who decides which countries get to have nuclear weapons -- while others don't?
