Latest developments
Syria maintains policies and practices that are compliant with all of the prohibitions in Article 1 of the TPNW, and can therefore sign and ratify or accede to the Treaty without the need for a change in conduct.
Recommendations
- Syria should urgently adhere to the TPNW.
- Syria should conclude and bring into force an Additional Protocol with the IAEA. Syria should also sign and ratify the CTBT and ratify the BWC.
