Guinea
Nuclear-weapon-free state
Has not yet joined the TPNW
Summary
Guinea has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
National position
Guinea has promoted universal adherence to the treaty, including by co-sponsoring and 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”.

Treaty negotiations
Guinea participated in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 but was absent for the vote on its adoption.
In 2016, Guinea voted in the first committee of the UN General Assembly in favour of a draft resolution that ultimately 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
Guinea 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 negotiations.
