Obama to Promote UN Nuclear Test Ban Resolution on Treaty's 20th Anniversary
President Barack Obama will promote the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) at the UN General Assembly, 20 years after the agreement was opened for ratification, the White House announced.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said on Friday that "there will be likely a UN Security Council session in which a resolution on the CTBT will be passed."
"This has been 20 years since the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty was open for signature," she added.
9 September 2016, 16:09 GMT
On Thursday, the P5 nations issued a joint statement calling on other states to ratify the agreement. P5 officials are expected to convene their first formal nuclear doctrines meeting on October 6 in New York.
Since the Treaty was opened for signature in 1996, 183 nations have signed it and 166 have ratified it.
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty provides for a legally binding global prohibition against nuclear explosive tests or any other nuclear explosions.
