Haiti
State with nuclear-free security policy
Haiti voted in favour of adopting the TPNW at the UN Diplomatic Conference in 2017, but has not yet adhered to the Treaty. Haiti maintains policies and practices that are compliant with all of the prohibitions in Article 1 of the Treaty, and can therefore sign and ratify it without making changes to existing practices or policies.

Latest developments
Haiti did not cast a vote on the UN General Assembly resolutions on the TPNW in 2018, 2019, or 2020. As a member of CARICOM, Haiti 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.'

Recommendations
- Haiti should urgently sign and ratify the TPNW, and encourage other states to adhere to the Treaty.
- Haiti should also ratify the BWC.
