The quest to get nuclear-armed states to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons continues.
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has been ratified by 65 governments, known in diplomatic circles as States Parties. The treaty's first Meeting of States Parties concluded here June 23, after painstakingly working out—in the words of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons—"a blueprint for the end of nuclear weapons." is the extraordinary, crowning achievement of ICAN, which won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts.
German and Dutch representatives took their turn and spoke to the MSP on June 22, but both NATO members used exactly the same words to note their government's explicit disapproval of the TPNW, and to voice their supposed support for the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Both representatives said their governments"will not accede to" the nuclear ban treaty"because the TPNW is inconsistent with NATO doctrine.
As German Representative Rüdiger Bohn said June 22, NATO"doctrine" includes the doleful edict,"As long as nuclear weapons exist, NATO will remain a nuclear Alliance." This embrace of genocidal atomic violence is not an Article of the 1949 In comparison, the Non-Proliferation Treaty is binding international law and includes explicit, unambiguous prohibitions and clear, binding obligations. NATO's ongoing planning, preparations, and ever-present threat to launch nuclear attacks is simply a ritualized practice that can be ended at any time—say by complying with the NPT's Articles I and II which prohibit any transfer or reception of nuclear weapons between states, or its Article VI pledge to negotiate nuclear disarmament.
