Mali
States with nuclear-free security strategies
Mali participated in the TPNW negotiations, but did not cast a vote on the adoption of the Treaty. Mali has not yet adhered to the TPNW, but 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 and background
Mali abstained on the UN General Assembly resolution on the TPNW in 2018. Mali participated in a regional workshop co-hosted by South Africa and ICAN on 16–17 August 2018 in Pretoria to promote adherence to the TPNW. (bit.ly/2m9WdFB)
Recommendations
- Mali should urgently sign and ratify the TPNW, and encourage other states to adhere to the Treaty.
