Well, the 5 official Nuclear Weapon States (with capital NWS) asked nicely with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which is signed by just about anyone. Not that there ever was a chance of them just giving up their nuclear weapons, but they did ask and the world said yes.

Yeah. Signed by just about everyone, except for Israel, India and Pakistan.

Funny that this is never mentioned, Iran is an NPT signatory, Israel and India are not. Yet...

The NPT doesn't say that. All nuclear weapon states are bound to seek complete disarmament, verified by the international community.
