Explanation of vote
L.25 the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)

Mr. Chairman,

I have asked for the floor to explain our vote on the resolution concerning the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) as contained in L.25. Rev 1.

In keeping with our longstanding and consistent record of support for the objectives of the CTBT, my delegation has voted in favour of the resolution.

As regards the call in the resolution for promoting signatures and ratifications leading to CTBT’s entry-into-force, this goal will of course be facilitated when major erstwhile supporters of the CTBT decide to restore their support. Acceptance of the CTBT obligations on a regional basis in South Asia will also facilitate its entry-into-force.
