Poland 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.

Poland has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Poland 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.

Poland 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, Poland joined the United States and several other states in protesting the treaty-making process.

In 2016, Poland 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 Poland, 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]

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

Simon Coveney, the minister for foreign affairs of Ireland, signed the treaty on 20 September 2017, describing it as a “ground-breaking treaty”. The government announced in September 2019 that it hopes to complete its ratification of the treaty “before the end of this year”.

Ireland participated in the negotiation of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and voted in favour of its adoption.

[PARTNERS]

[COLLAPSE_O]

A bill to give effect to the treaty under Irish law was introduced to the Irish legislature, known as the Oireachtas, on 22 July 2019. In introducing the legislation, the minister of state, Ciarán Cannon, noted the leading role of Ireland in the process resulting in the adoption of the treaty. The Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons Bill passed all stages in Seanad Éireann on 4 December 2019.

Ireland 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 its opening statement to the negotiating conference, Ireland described the moment as “a pivotal point in our international relations, a time to take stock and honour the testimony of the past, to decide what sort of present we wish to live in and what sort of legacy we wish to leave for future generations”.

It commented that “we are not just writing a new and complementary treaty here, we are taking the opportunity to write a new history and in so doing to create a new, more stable, more secure and more equal future for all”.

Ireland, Austria, Brazil, 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, Ireland was a 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”.

Ireland 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.

Iceland 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.

Iceland 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]

The prime minister of Iceland, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, has pledged to work for her country’s signature and ratification of the treaty. She made this commitment in September 2017, prior to assuming the office of prime minister.

In February 2018, a group of Icelandic parliamentarians proposed a motion that the parliament of Iceland “resolves to entrust the government with ensuring that Iceland accedes to the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons”. The matter was referred to the foreign affairs committee of the parliament.

In a submission to the committee, the ministry of foreign affairs of Iceland indicated that it does not support the treaty. A number of organisations, including the Icelandic Red Cross, made submissions in support of the motion. It remains on the parliamentary agenda.

Iceland 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, Iceland 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 Iceland, 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”.

In the past, Iceland had called for intensified efforts to outlaw nuclear weapons in light of their unacceptable humanitarian consequences.

Germany is one of the five NATO states to host US nuclear weapons as part of NATO's nuclear sharing agreement. The German air force is assigned approximately 20 B61 nuclear bombs, which are deployed at Büchel Air Base.

Germany 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.

While the German government has not yet voiced support for the treaty, more than 150 federal parliamentarians have pledged to work for Germany’s signature and ratification. A cross-party working group was established in September 2019 with this objective.

Dozens of German cities, including Berlin and Munich, as well as three federal states, have called on the German government to sign and ratify the treaty.

Germany 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”.

Nuclear-weapon endorser: hosts nuclear weapons on its territory

80 U.S. nuclear weapons hosted

Has not yet joined TPNW

[HIGHLIGHTS]

Italy is one of the five NATO states to host US nuclear weapons as part of NATO's nuclear sharing agreement. The Italian Air Force is assigned approximately 80 B61 nuclear bombs, which are deployed at Aviano Air Base and Ghedi Air Base.

Italy 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. 

A public opinion poll conducted by YouGov in April 2019 found that 70 per cent of Italians believe that their government should sign the treaty, with 16 per cent opposed to signing and 14 per cent undecided.

[PARTNERS] [COLLAPSE_O]:

In September 2017, the Italian parliament adopted a resolution that instructed the government “to explore the possibility” of becoming a state party to the treaty “in a way compatible with [Italy’s] NATO obligations and with the positioning of allied states”.

The minister for foreign affairs of Italy, Luigi Di Maio, has pledged to work for his country’s signature and ratification of the treaty. He made this commitment in October 2017, prior to assuming the office of minister for foreign affairs.

Italy 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, Italy 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”. However, it later informed the UN secretariat that it had intended to vote against.

In a “non-paper” sent to NATO members ahead of the vote, the United States “strongly encourage[d]” members, including Italy, to vote against the resolution, “not to merely abstain”.
