SIGNED

RATIFIED
|
IN FORCE
|
Status
Sudan has signed but not yet ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
Signature
Omer Mohamed Ahmed Siddig, the then-permanent representative of Sudan to the United Nations, signed the TPNW on 22 July 2020.
In 2020, Sudan said that it “is currently undertaking its internal legal and administrative processes to ratify the treaty” and urged other states also to become parties.
National position
Sudan has promoted universal adherence to the TPNW, 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”.
It has said that the TPNW “has a significant complementary role in reinforcing the spirit and objectives of the [Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968].”

TPNW negotiations
Sudan 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, Sudan abstained from voting 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
Sudan 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.
