COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY

That this House notes that the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which bans nuclear test explosions, was finally signed in 1996 after more than 40 years of effort and that, to date, 174 states have signed, of which 120 have ratified; notes with deep regret that this treaty has still not entered into force; urges all states that have not yet signed or ratified to do so without further delay and to refrain from any behaviour injurious to the treaty; and further urges those states that have ratified to examine ways of advancing the cause of the treaty by pursuing such options as provisional entry into force.
