The United Nations has announced that Cambodia has ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which bans the development, possession and use of nuclear weapons, bringing the number of countries and regions ratified to 52.
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which bans the development, manufacture, possession, and use of nuclear weapons, saying it is inhumane and contrary to international law, was ratified by October last year in 50 countries and regions, each at 0 am on the 22nd of local time. It came into effect at times.
The United Nations announced on the 22nd that Cambodia has ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, bringing the total number of countries and regions ratified to 52, including Benin last month.
To commemorate the entry into force, countries and organizations promoting the treaty met online, with the participation of ministers and ambassadors from approximately 20 countries.
At the meeting, the disarmament ambassadors of Peru and Chile announced that domestic procedures for ratifying the treaty would be completed soon, and that Indonesia and Brazil were also in the process of ratification in parliament.
Nuclear-weapon states, NATO = members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Japan, which depend on nuclear deterrence, do not participate in the treaty, but the countries promoting the treaty are countries that will take effect. We are hoping that the number will increase to 100 within a few years, and we will continue to work with each country.
