title = {Revitalizing Diplomatic Efforts to Advance CTBT Entry into Force},
year = {2018},
note = {More than two decades after the opening for signature of the
Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), the treaty has near
universal support and has established a global norm against nuclear
test explosions. The nuclear testing taboo impedes the development of
new and more advanced nuclear warhead designs, which helps prevent
dangerous nuclear competition, and maintain international security.
Although the CTBT has created a norm against testing, the treaty has
not entered into force due to the failure of eight key states,
including the United States and China, to ratify. Over time, norms
must be actively renewed and reinforced. In order to realize the full
potential of the treaty, and to close the door on testing, friends of
the CTBT states need to rejuvenate their efforts to achieve its entry
into force and reinforce the taboo against nuclear testing.},
