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

Bosnia and Herzegovina has consistently voted against an annual UN General Assembly resolution since 2018 that welcomes the adoption of the TPNW and calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to it “at the earliest possible date”.

 

Meetings of states parties

Bosnia and Herzegovina attended as an observer the first meeting of states parties to the TPNW, held in Vienna in June 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”.
