Uzbekistan
Nuclear-weapon-free state
Has not yet joined the TPNW
Status
Uzbekistan has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
National position
Uzbekistan 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”.
TPNW negotiations
Uzbekistan did not formally participate in the negotiation of the TPNW at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and thus did not vote on its adoption.
In 2016, Uzbekistan 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
Prior to the adoption of the TPNW in 2017, nuclear weapons were the only weapons of mass destruction not subject to a comprehensive, globally applicable treaty prohibition. Uzbekistan supported calls in the UN General Assembly fill this “legal gap”.
