Latest developments
Chile was one of the co-sponsors of the 2021 UN General Assembly resolution on the TPNW, which called 'upon all States that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, accept, approve or accede to the Treaty at the earliest possible date'.2 On 22 February 2021, in the Conference on Disarmament, Chile described the TPNW's entry into force as 'one of the most important milestones on our path towards global and complete disarmament'.3
Recommendations
- Chile should continue to encourage other states to adhere to the Treaty.
- Chile should ensure that all the TPNW obligations are implemented domestically, through legal, administrative, and other necessary measures.
