Mot kärnvapennedrustning med övervakning och kontroll

Av Radwan Jakeem

NEW YORK (IDN) – Det internationella samfundet strävar ständigt efter en värld fri från kärnvapen. Kontrollsystem och -metoder är avgörande för att förstå de komplexa utmaningar som ingår i att på ett korrekt sätt övervaka och kontrollera framtida insatser för kärnvapennedrustning som sannolikt kommer att utsätta länder för mer påträngande kontroller än någonsin.

｜スリランカ｜核不拡散・軍縮への取り組みを強化

【ジュネーブ／コロンボIDN＝ジャヤ・ラマチャンドラン】

ドイツ政府は、スリランカの「軍縮・開発フォーラム」（FDD）に対して、核不拡散条約（NPT）と包括的核実験禁止条約（CTBT）の文言を現地の公用語であるシンハラ語、タミル語に翻訳するための資金を提供するという珍しい支援を行った。NPTとCTBTの文言はこれまで、国連の公式言語であるアラビア語、中国語、英語、フランス語、ロシア語、スペイン語でしか利用できなかった。

現地語によるNPTやCTBTに関する書籍（①NPTとスリランカ、②スリランカはなぜCTBTに批准すべきか、③スリランカはなぜ核実験禁止条約に加盟すべきか）の出版は、スリランカが、核不拡散・軍縮への支持とコミットメントを明確に示し、CTBTや核兵器禁止条約（TPNW）に速やかに批准し加入することの重要性を示している。
