Advancing the CTBT and Defending the De Facto Nuclear Test Moratorium In Light of Russian Moves to De-ratify the Treaty
APLN Executive Director Shatabhisha Shetty has signed an ICAN joint statement that called on all countries that have signed and ratified the CTBT and the TPNW to urge the eight states that have yet to ratify it (China, North Korea, Egypt, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, and the United States) to do so. In addition, the signatories call for international pressure on Russia to reverse its de-ratification and formally reaffirm its full support for the CTBT.
