South Sudan

Nuclear-weapon-free state

Has not yet joined the TPNW

Summary

South Sudan has not yet signed or ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).

 

Universalisation

South Sudan has promoted universal adherence to the TPNW, including by voting in favour of an annual UN General Assembly resolution in 2021 that calls upon all states to sign, ratify, or accede to the treaty “at the earliest possible date”.

 

TPNW negotiations

South Sudan did not formally participate in the negotiation of the TPNW at the United Nations in New York in 2017 and thus did not vote on its adoption.

In 2016, South Sudan was absent for the vote on the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence negotiations on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.
