Nuclear weapons ban treaty ratified countries are half the target Japan does not sign
On the 6th, Bolivia ratified the Nuclear Weapons Convention, which bans the development, possession, and use of nuclear weapons. The ratification of the treaty requires 50 countries to ratify, and the issue is whether ratification will proceed in the signing countries for early entry into force.
The Nuclear Weapons Convention bans the development, possession and use of nuclear weapons, and so far 70 countries have signed and 24 countries have ratified it.
Recently, Bolivia in South America ratified the treaty, and while the representatives of the countries that ratified it watched over, the UN ambassador in Bolivia handed over the ratification to the treaty official at the United Nations in New York on the 6th.
“We chose this day to submit the ratification because it was a memorable day when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima,” said UN Ambassador Sacha Lorenti, Bolivia.
He said that he would encourage other member states to ratify the treaty, saying, “I want to realize the abolition of nuclear weapons for the survival of mankind with the desire to remember the victims of atomic bombs.”
50 countries need ratification for the nuclear weapons ban treaty to come into effect, but only 6 countries have been ratified, and the issue is whether ratification will proceed in the signing countries for early entry into force. .
On the other hand, Japan has not signed or ratified it as “it does not lead to a realistic nuclear disarmament”, and there are no nuclear powers participating, and the conflict continues over how to proceed with nuclear disarmament.
