Nuclear-weapon endorser

Did not participate in TPNW negotiations

Has not yet joined TPNW

[HIGHLIGHTS]

Bulgaria supports the retention and potential use of nuclear weapons on its behalf, as indicated by its endorsement of various alliance statements of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), of which it is a member.

Bulgaria has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. It did not participate in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and thus did not vote on its adoption. 

[PARTNERS]

[COLLAPSE_O]

Bulgaria voted against a UN General Assembly resolution in 20198 that welcomed the adoption of the treaty and called upon “all states that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve, or accede to the treaty at the earliest possible date”.

On the opening day of the TPNW negotiating conference in 2017, it joined the United States and several other states in protesting the treaty-making process.

In 2016, Bulgaria voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

In a “non-paper” sent to NATO members ahead of the vote, the United States “strongly encourage[d]” members, including Bulgaria, to vote against the resolution, “not to merely abstain”. In addition, it said that, if the treaty negotiations do commence, allies and partners should "refrain from joining them”.

[HIGHLIGHTS]

Grenada has signed but not yet ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Peter David, the minister for foreign affairs of Grenada, signed the treaty at a high-level ceremony on 26 September 2019. 

Grenada participated in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and voted in favour of its adoption.

Grenada has promoted universal adherence to the treaty, including by co-sponsoring a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to the treaty “at the earliest possible date”.

In 2016, Grenada was an additional co-sponsor of the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

Grenada 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.

Grenada is a state party to the 1967 Treaty of Tlatelolco, which established Latin America and the Caribbean as a nuclear-weapon-free zone.

[HIGHLIGHTS]

Austria has signed and ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

On 20 September 2017, the minister for foreign affairs of Austria Sebastian Kurz signed the treaty. Ambassador Jan Kickert, the permanent representative of Austria to the United Nations, deposited the country’s instrument of ratification with the UN secretary-general on 8 May 2018.

Austria participated in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and voted in favour of its adoption.

Addressing the United Nations ahead of the signing ceremony in September 2017, Kurz said: “Today, we often hear that nuclear weapons are necessary for security. This narrative is not only wrong, it is dangerous. The new treaty provides a real alternative: a world without nuclear weapons, where everyone is safer.”

The Austrian national council, the lower house of the Austrian parliament, gave its unanimous approval for ratification on 21 March 2018, and the federal council, the upper house, gave its unanimous approval on 5 April 2018.

Austria has promoted universal adherence to the treaty, including by initiating and co-sponsoring a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to the treaty “at the earliest possible date”.

In a statement to the United Nations in September 2019, the minister for foreign affairs of Austria, Alexander Schallenberg, said: “With every additional signature and ratification, states send a very powerful signal that having a say on nuclear weapons is not exclusive to states who possess them. The security of all our citizens is equally important and equally at risk.”

In its opening statement to the negotiating conference, Austria argued, in response to critics of the process, that there is no “wrong time” for negotiating a treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons. “If you look at the risks, what is the alternative? Is doing nothing a better strategy?”

Austria, Brazil, Ireland, Mexico, Nigeria, and South Africa comprised a “core group” of states that played a leading role in bringing the negotiations about and ensuring their ultimate success.

In 2016, Austria was an initiator and co-sponsor of the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

In 2014, Austria hosted the third in a series of inter-governmental conferences on the “humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons”, at which it launched a pledge, subsequently endorsed by 127 states, to cooperate “in efforts to stigmatize, prohibit, and eliminate nuclear weapons”.

The “humanitarian pledge”, as it became known, was instrumental in building momentum and support for convening the negotiations.

Nuclear-armed state

300 nuclear weapons

210 nuclear tests

Has not yet joined TPNW

[HIGHLIGHTS]

France’s nuclear weapons can be launched from submarines or from missiles dropped from airplanes. France’s submarines that can launch nuclear weapons are based at the Île Longue peninsula, south of Brest in the Brittany region of France. France conducted a total of 210 nuclear tests in Algeria and French Polynesia from 1960-1996.

France did not participate in the negotiations of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and has not yet signed or ratified it.

A public opinion poll conducted by IFOP in June 2018 found that 67 per cent of French people believe that their government should sign the treaty, with 33 per cent opposed to signing.

[COLLAPSE_O]

The French Military Planning Law for 2019-2025 allocated €37 billion to upgrade French nuclear forces and allocated €23.3 billion for this purpose from 2014-2019.

In July 2018, the foreign affairs committee of the French national assembly recommended that the government “mitigate its criticism” of the treaty “to show that we understand and take into account the concerns of states and their desire for more balanced global governance”.

France voted against a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that welcomed the adoption of the treaty and called upon “all states that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve, or accede to the treaty at the earliest possible date”.

On the opening day of the TPNW negotiating conference in 2017, it joined the United States and several other states in protesting the treaty-making process.

In 2016, France voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

France actively discouraged other states, in particular its former colonies, from supporting the resolution.

Nuclear-armed state

200 nuclear weapons

45 nuclear tests

Has not yet joined TPNW

[HIGHLIGHTS]

The United Kingdom’s nuclear weapons would be launched from its nuclear-capable submarines which are based off the coast of Scotland at Her Majesty’s Naval Base. One submarine is usually on patrol.

The United Kingdom tested 45 nuclear weapons from 1952-1991. From 1952 to 1963, the British government conducted 12 nuclear test explosions and up to 600 so-called “minor trials” in the South Australian desert and off the Western Australian coast. Between 1957 and 1962, the United Kingdom and the United States tested 33 nuclear weapons at Malden and Kiritimati islands in Kiribati.

The United Kingdom did not participate in the negotiations of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and has not yet signed or ratified it.

A public opinion poll conducted by YouGov in March 2017 found that 75 per cent of British people believed that their government should participate in the treaty negotiations, with 9 per cent opposed to participating and 16 per cent undecided.

[PARTNERS]

[COLLAPSE_O]

The leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said in August 2017 that, with the recent adoption of the treaty by a majority of the world’s governments, “historic progress” was made towards “a world that genuinely meets the security needs of its people”.

The United Kingdom voted against a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that welcomed the adoption of the treaty and called upon “all states that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve, or accede to the treaty at the earliest possible date”.

On the opening day of the TPNW negotiating conference in 2017, it joined the United States and several other states in protesting the treaty-making process.

Nuclear-weapon-free state

Voted in favour of adopting TPNW

Has not yet joined TPNW

[HIGHLIGHTS]

Sweden participated in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and voted in favour of its adoption. However, in explaining its vote, it said that the final treaty text “does not meet all the expectations we had”.

In July 2019, the then-minister for foreign affairs of Sweden, Margot Wallström, announced that Sweden would “refrain from signing or pursuing ratification of the [treaty] at the present time”, but indicated that it might reassess its position in 2020.

A public opinion poll conducted by Sifo in December 2019 found that 8 out of 10 Swedes want the government to sign the treaty.

[PARTNERS] [COLLAPSE_O]:

The foreign minister’s announcement followed the release of a government report in January 2019 examining the possibility of Sweden’s accession to the treaty. The report was widely criticised by civil society groups and scholars from various academic fields.

In August 2017, following Sweden’s vote at the United Nations in support of the adoption of the treaty, the then-secretary of defence of the United States, James Mattis, wrote to his Swedish counterpart, Peter Hultqvist, warning that Sweden’s accession to the treaty would “adversely affect defence cooperation” between the two countries.

Sweden abstained from voting on a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that welcomed the adoption of the treaty and called upon “all states that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve, or accede to the treaty at the earliest possible date”.

It also said: “We warmly welcome the fact that at last we have a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons, the only weapon of mass destruction not prohibited until now. Though nuclear weapons are not likely to disappear soon, we are convinced that the norm against the use and possession of nuclear weapons will be strengthened by this treaty.”

In its opening statement to the negotiating conference, Sweden said that “in a deteriorating security environment, as we are witnessing today, every opportunity to seek progress in nuclear disarmament must be seized”.

In 2016, Sweden voted in favour of the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination.”

Prior to the adoption of the treaty in 2017, nuclear weapons were the only weapons of mass destruction not subject to a comprehensive, globally applicable treaty prohibition. Sweden supported calls in the UN General Assembly fill this “legal gap”.

Nuclear-weapon endorser

Did not participate in TPNW negotiations

Has not yet joined TPNW

[HIGHLIGHTS]

Spain supports the retention and potential use of nuclear weapons on its behalf, as indicated by its endorsement of various alliance statements of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), of which it is a member.

Spain has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. It did not participate in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and thus did not vote on its adoption.

[PARTNERS] [COLLAPSE_O]

In September 2018, the Spanish government, as part of a deal with the political party Podemos, committed to sign the treaty. The deal was struck between the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, and the leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias. However, no action was ultimately taken.

Several Spanish cities have urged the Spanish government to sign and ratify the treaty.

Spain voted against a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that welcomed the adoption of the treaty and called upon “all states that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve, or accede to the treaty at the earliest possible date”.

In 2016, Spain voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

In a “non-paper” sent to NATO members ahead of the vote, the United States “strongly encourage[d]” members, including Sapin, to vote against the resolution, “not to merely abstain”. In addition, it said that, if the treaty negotiations do commence, allies and partners should "refrain from joining them”.

Slovakia supports the retention and potential use of nuclear weapons on its behalf, as indicated by its endorsement of various alliance statements of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), of which it is a member.

Slovakia has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. It did not participate in the negotiation of the treaty at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and thus did not vote on its adoption.

[PARTNERS] [COLLAPSE_O]

Slovakia voted against a UN General Assembly resolution in 2019 that welcomed the adoption of the treaty and called upon “all states that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve, or accede to the treaty at the earliest possible date”.

In 2016, Slovakia voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

In a “non-paper” sent to NATO members ahead of the vote, the United States “strongly encourage[d]” members, including Slovakia, to vote against the resolution, “not to merely abstain”. In addition, it said that, if the treaty negotiations do commence, allies and partners should "refrain from joining them”.

On the opening day of the TPNW negotiating conference in 2017, Romania joined the United States and several other states in protesting the treaty-making process.

In 2016, Romania voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence the negotiations in 2017 on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.
