As a member of CARICOM, Dominica aligned itself with the group's statement in First Committee of the 2020 UN General Assembly, which highlighted the TPNW and called 'for the denuclearization of all areas of the world.' See: bit.ly/2UN9K3n.
Recommendations
- Dominica should encourage other states to adhere to the TPNW.
- Dominica should ensure that all the TPNW obligations are implemented domestically, through legal, administrative and other necessary measures.
- Dominica should conclude and bring into force an Additional Protocol (AP) with the IAEA. Dominica should also sign and ratify the CTBT.
