Status
Haiti has signed but not yet ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
Signature
Jean Victor Geneus, the minister for foreign affairs and worship of Haiti, signed the TPNW at a high-level ceremony in New York on 22 September 2022.
In October 2023, Haiti reaffirmed its support for the treaty, describing it as “an essential complement” to the Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968.
In a statement to the United Nations in 2021, Haiti welcomed the TPNW’s entry in force and said that the government “has taken due note and has committed to complete its membership of the TPNW” promptly.

Universalisation
Haiti has promoted universal adherence to the TPNW, including by voting in favour of an annual UN General Assembly resolution in 2021 that calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to the treaty “at the earliest possible date”.
TPNW negotiations
Haiti participated in the negotiation of the TPNW at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and was among 122 states that voted in favour of its adoption.
In 2016, Haiti was absent for the vote on 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”.
Before the negotiations
Haiti was among 127 states that endorsed a “humanitarian pledge” in 2015–16 to cooperate “in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit, and eliminate nuclear weapons”. The pledge was instrumental in building momentum and support for convening the TPNW negotiations.
