35 Staaten sabotieren die NPT

Today governments will gather at the United Nations in Geneva to discuss the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This is the first time governments gather to talk specifically about nuclear weapons since the historic adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and since ICAN received the Nobel Peace Prize. 

But while we have achieved great breakthroughs this last year and the majority of states in the world are rejecting nuclear weapons and working towards a world without nuclear weapons, our research shows that 35 states are undermining it and putting the NPT regime at risk. 

Five nuclear weapon states and 30 nuclear weapons enabling states have not yet signed the Treaty on the Prohibition on Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). And research shows that they also are not taking action to move towards nuclear disarmament, as agreed to under their obligations under the NPT.

ICAN will be at the NPT meetings in Geneva and work to ensure more and more states reject nuclear weapons and join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
