Vienna ● Sat, July 2 2022
Representatives of governments, international organizations and civil-society groups gathered for the first time in Vienna June 21-23 for the first meeting of states party to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), following its entry into force in January last year.
Signed in 2017, the treaty has received 86 signatories and 65 ratifications within the last five years, despite the COVID-19 pandemic situation since 2020, with more expected to join on board, including Indonesia. Jakarta has signed the treaty and is about to ratify it.
