Haiti Ratifies Nuclear Test Ban Treaty

Haiti last week ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, bringing the total number of ratifications to 126, the CTBT Organization in Vienna announced (see GSN, Sept. 26).

Twenty-two countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have now ratified the treaty. To enter into force, the pact still needs to be ratified by 11 nations with nuclear facilities, including India, Pakistan, Israel and the United States (CTBTO release, Dec. 7).
