Forwarded from Russian Security Index

🔥 Back in the year 2017, the global security agenda was shaken by the debates held at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that led to the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) that should have set a framework towards the world, free of nuclear weapons. It has been the consecutive inherently political move forward, following the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons initiative.

🔎 Yet, the discourse around the novel legal framework among scholars has been intense, gripped over an argument that the TPNW may spark nuclear-armed states to intensify the political measuring of nuclear weapons as a deterrence factor essential for national security. Even though some scholars tend to think positively about the Treaty, it seems reasonable to record that it has been out of the loop since 2017.

⚡️ The ongoing modernization of nuclear forces in Russia, China, the United States, and the UK, along with the recent Russian withdrawal (2023) of its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) have demonstrated the untimeliness of the TPNW. The heating tensions worldwide have revoked the decisiveness of nuclear weapons. Exempt from nuclear-armed states, those states that have the potential of acquiring nukes (listed in the Annex II of the CTBT) seem to approach the TPNW skeptically as well.

👤 More about the TPNW and why the Treaty has become an unwanted legal instrument can be found in the article by Maksim Sorokin, PIR Center Information & Publications Program Coordinator and Editor of the "Yaderny Control" E-Bulletin.
