ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Friday rejected the Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons that came into force on January 21 and said it was not bound by any of its obligations.
“Pakistan stresses that this Treaty neither forms a part of, nor contributes to the development of customary international law in any manner,” said the Foreign Office though it was welcomed by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
The Foreign Office stressed that it was indispensable for any initiative on nuclear disarmament to take into account the vital security considerations of each and every state.
Rejecting the treaty the Foreign Office said the treaty, which was adopted in July 2017, was negotiated outside the established UN disarmament negotiating forums.
Of course, the big world news is the coronavirus. Climate is as always, the vital second issue.

Apart from the ban treaty, nuclear news has been very much in the background. The global nuclear industry is not wasting this ”quiet” time, but instead is ramping up and reorganising for a 2021 propaganda blitz.
