 国际伙伴关系的目标是评估并在可能的情况下制定应对核武器生命周期中的监测和核查挑战的方法——包括材料的生产和控制、弹头的生产、部署、存储、拆除和处置。伙伴关系将建立在从美英技术合作方案和美国-挪威倡议等努力中吸取的经验教训的基础上。美国政府将通过一个正式的公私伙伴关系与核威胁倡议合作。
• Goals of the International Partnership are to assess and potentially develop approaches addressing monitoring and verification challenges across the nuclear weapons lifecycle — including material production and control, warhead production, deployment, storage, dismantlement, and disposition. The Partnership will build on lessons learned from efforts such as the U.S.-UK Technical Cooperation Program and the UK-Norway Initiative. The U.S. Government will work with the Nuclear Threat Initiative through an official public-private partnership.
