Chad
Nuclear-weapon-free state
Has not yet joined TPNW
Status
Chad has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
National position
Chad has promoted universal adherence to the TPNW, including by voting in favour of an annual UN General Assembly resolution since 2018 that calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to the treaty “at the earliest possible date”.
In 2020, the Chadian foreign ministry indicated that Chad would adhere to the TPNW “when the time comes”.
TPNW negotiations
Chad 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, Chad voted in favour of 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
Chad 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.
