Gabon
Nuclear-weapon-free state
Has not yet joined the TPNW
Status
Gabon has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
National position
Gabon has promoted universal adherence to the TPNW, including by consistently 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 2022, Gabon said: “There is a need for collective action to achieve disarmament, as well as the adoption of bilateral and multilateral agreements, such as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.”
TPNW negotiations
While Gabon did not formally participate in the negotiation of the TPNW at the United Nations in New York in 2017, it was among 122 states that voted in favour of its adoption.
In 2016, Gabon 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”.
