Many international efforts have been made for the purposes of controlling, reducing, and prohibiting nuclear weapons. While the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is the centerpiece of the current nuclear order, those most skeptical of the sustainability of nuclear deterrence advocate the establishment of a disarmament regime based on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Within the European Union, we can notice a disparity of positions on this issue, both among organs and member states, which hinders the adoption of a coherent strategy. Addressing the impact of relevant issues such as the war in Ukraine and nuclear-sharing, the article outlines the challenging situation in which the EU finds herself. The article reviews the evolution of the EU’s role as an emerging actor in the European theater, describes the main possible models of nuclear order, and analyzes the most relevant challenges that the EU currently faces; challenges both endogenous (the divergence between bodies and member states) and exogenous (the risks arising from the war in Ukraine and the Iranian nuclear program). The article argues that, both for the sake of maintaining the current non-proliferation regime and of facilitating universal denuclearization, the EU needs to urgently address these challenges and help strengthen the NPT.
