POLITICIANS and campaigners slammed the “shameful” British government today after it refused to sign up to the United Nations (UN) treaty on the prohibition on Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
The Tory government failed to back the treaty, which came into effect today, despite claiming it was “committed” to a world without nuclear weapons.
The UN treaty declares that countries signed up must “never under any circumstances develop, test, produce, manufacture or otherwise acquire, possess or stockpile nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.”
None of the nuclear powers, including Britain, have so far signed the accord, which was ratified by the required 50 countries last year and passed in the UN general assembly 122 votes to one, with one abstention. Britain and other nuclear-armed states refused to take part in the vote.
