Bosnia and Herzegovina

Nuclear-weapon-free state

Has not yet joined the TPNW

Status

Bosnia and Herzegovina has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).

 

National position

In 2023, Bosnia and Herzegovina abstained from voting on an annual UN General Assembly resolution that welcomes the adoption of the TPNW and calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to it “at the earliest possible date”. Between 2018 and 2022, it voted against the resolution.

 

Meetings of states parties

Bosnia and Herzegovina observed the first meeting of states parties to the TPNW in 2022.

 

TPNW negotiations

Bosnia and Herzegovina did not participate in the negotiation of the TPNW at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and thus did not vote on its adoption. 

In 2016, Bosnia and Herzegovina voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence negotiations on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.
