About Me:
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans nuclear test explosions in any environment. It was negotiated and drafted at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva and opened for signature in New York on 24 September 1996.
The Treaty builds on the work of preceding bilateral, regional, and global arrangements, such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The CTBT aims at eliminating nuclear weapons by constraining the development and qualitative improvement of new types of nuclear weapons. It plays a crucial role in the prevention of nuclear proliferation and in nuclear disarmament, thus contributing to a safer and more secure world.
The CTBT will enter into force 180 days after it has been ratified by the 44 States listed in Annex 2. These 44 States formally participated in the work of the 1996 Conference on Disarmament and possess nuclear reactors. Only 9 of these States have yet to ratify: China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, and the United States. 180 countries have signed the treaty and 148 have ratified it.
