Latest developments
Burundi 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.
In December 2022, ICAN partners in Burundi held a multi-stakeholder workshop to promote adherence to the TPNW.
Recommendations
