  1. There never was a treaty like that.  But only a few years after WWII the leaders of nations with nuclear weapons realized that they were not really usable in wars, and they haven't been used since.  Countries have wanted them ever since, but just for defense, just for the threat of retaliation.

    Leaders of countries with nuclear weapons knows that whoever uses them next will lose.  Their country will become the pariah of the world and every other nation will gang up against them.  They can't imagine a scenario by which they have anything to gain by the first use of nuclear weapons.  So every nuclear nation in the world has signed a 'no first use' treaty--except, of course, the US. That might be what you were thinking of.


  2. The only thing close to a treaty is the creation of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission to study the damages. The Partial Test Ban Treaty was the first to limit nuclear testing. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was the first to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. SALT was the first treaty to limit the US and USSR's nuclear weapons.

  3. the only thing that comes to mind is the nuclear non-proliferation treaty which limits developement of nuclear weapons to countries that had already posessed them
