Andorra
Accession to the TPNW remained on Andorra's governmental agenda in 2021. Maria Ubach i Font, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Andorra, wrote in 2019: 'I am confident that soon, once we complete our internal procedures, Andorra will be in a position to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.'[1]

Latest developments
Andorra voted in favour of adopting the TPNW at the UN Diplomatic Conference in 2021, and has consistently voted in favour of the annual UN General Assembly resolutions on the TPNW, including in 2021.
Andorra maintains policies and practices that are compatible with all of the prohibitions in Article 1 of the TPNW, and can therefore sign and ratify or accede to the Treaty without the need for a change in conduct.
Recommendations
- Andorra should urgently adhere to the TPNW.
