South Sudan
Other non-nuclear-armed states
South Sudan participated in the TPNW negotiations, but did not cast a vote on the adoption of the Treaty. South Sudan 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
South Sudan did not vote on the UN General Assembly resolution on the TPNW in 2018.
Recommendations
- South Sudan should urgently sign and ratify the TPNW, and encourage other states to adhere to the Treaty.
