Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan did not cast a vote on the adoption of the TPNW at the UN Diplomatic Conference in 2017 but has voted in favour of the annual UN General Assembly resolutions on the TPNW since 2019, including in 2023. Uzbekistan maintains policies and practices that are compatible 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.

Latest developments

In August 2023, Uzbekistan attended a meeting in Kazakhstan hosted by the foreign ministry to promote adherence to the TPNW and consideration of the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons. Kazakhstan emphasised the compatibility of the TPNW with the Central Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone (NWFZ) Treaty, to which Uzbekistan is a State party.1
