Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water

According to the Court itself, France made public its intention to cease the conduct of atmospheric nuclear tests following the conclusion of the 1974 series of tests .

It follows that the Government of France is still reserving to itself the right to carry out atmospheric nuclear tests.

Whereas the basis of the Judgment delivered by the Court in the case of the Nuclear Tests (New Zealand v. France) was consequently France's undertaking not to conduct any further atmospheric nuclear tests whereas it was only, therefore, in the event of a resumption of nuclear tests in the atmosphere that that basis of the Judgment would have been affected and whereas that hypothesis has not materialized.

At the time of its formation, nuclear weapons were being tested in the atmosphere and radioactive debris was being dispersed throughout the environment.

It finds that France has undertaken the obligation to hold no further nuclear tests in the atmosphere in the South Pacific.

It has repeatedly sought assurances that atmospheric tests will end.

The concern of the Australian Government is to exclude completely atmospheric testing.

I must emphasize the basic distinction between an assertion that tests will go underground and an assurance that no further atmospheric tests will take place.

The French Government has never given the assurances which the Australian Government has sought regarding atmospheric testing.

The Government of Australia, as the direct addressee, stated that The Australian Government had noted the French Government's statements expressing an intention to cease atmospheric testing after the present series was completed.

In legal terms, Australia has nothing from the French Government which protects it against any further atmospheric tests, should the French Government decide to hold them.

The risk that this policy will lead to further atmospheric tests in 1975, and in subsequent years continues to be a real one.

The Conference affirms that observance of the existing moratorium on nuclear testing should not substitute for a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapon testing.

If we are doing entry, we have to do tests of parachutes.

Noting that Semipalantisk nuclear site has witnessed nuclear tests on a large scale including high intensity tests on the surface which have been conducted during last forty years

The Conference agrees that existing moratoriums on nuclear weapon test explosions must be maintained pending entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

The recent French Presidential statement cannot be read as a firm, explicit and binding undertaking to refrain from further atmospheric tests.

Treaties now ban tests of weapons in the atmosphere, but the global exposure of populations from natural or medical sources continues to be considerably larger than that caused by fallout from weapons testing, even at its peak during the mid 1960s.

The Conference underlines that existing moratoriums on nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear test explosions must be maintained, pending the Treaty's entry into force.

Ri Yong Ho told the world body's annual General Assembly that North Korea had taken significant goodwill measures in the past year, such as stopping nuclear and missiles tests, dismantling the nuclear test site, and pledging not to proliferate nuclear weapons and nuclear technology.

The experiment logistics module will be used to transport experimental equipment, samples, various gases and supplies.

I had myself made it clear that this round of atmospheric tests would be the last, and so the members of the Government were completely informed of our intentions in this respect.

Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty verification regimes

The Kingdom of Morocco, which supports a total ban on nuclear tests, has signed and ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

These include participation in the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment, the Climatic Predictability and Variability Initiative, Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate, and the Arctic Climate System Study.

The States parties call upon the nuclear weapon States to refrain from conducting all types of tests, in conformity with the objectives of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Ri Yong Ho said on the United Nations General Assembly that North Korea had taken very kind actions during the last year, including cessation of missile and nuclear tests, dismantling of nuclear test sites and commitment to non proliferation of nuclear weapons and technologies

All States should affirm their commitment to a moratorium on testing and to the early entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Nigeria believes, however, that observance of the existing moratorium on nuclear testing should not substitute for a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapon testing.

Having ratified CTBT in 2002, her Government advocated a continued moratorium on nuclear tests.

It is clear that the NPT and the CTBT have reinforced nuclear security. Only a handful of countries have developed nuclear weapons outside of the NPT, and the CTBT has reduced the number of nuclear tests from an average of 500 per decade to a mere trickle.

Maintain a moratorium on nuclear test explosions pending the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and call upon all States to become a party to the Treaty

Pending its entry into force, the nuclear weapon States and other nuclear powers should maintain the moratorium on nuclear weapon test explosions.
