ABSTRACT

In the past, states have underestimated the effort required to implement WMD-related treaties. Yet effective national implementation is a prerequisite to upholding agreements and building confidence in compliance with these treaty regimes. Drawing on experience from other arms control and disarmament agreements, this article lays out the most relevant measures for national implementation of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) resulting from Article 5 (national implementation). It also examines other obligations in the TPNW through the lens of national implementation, including initial declarations Articles 2 (declarations), 6 (victim assistance and environmental remediation) and 7 (international cooperation and assistance). The paper focuses on what key elements that TPNW States Parties should address when transposing the international agreement to the national level: standardization; capacity and resources; and international assistance. In doing so, it aims to assist national and international actors in their implementation efforts.

摘要

过去，各州低估了实施与大规模杀伤性武器相关条约所需的努力。然而，有效的国家执行是维护协议和建立对遵守这些条约制度的信心的前提。本文借鉴其他军备控制和裁军协定的经验，阐述了由第5条（国家执行）产生的与国家实施《禁止核武器条约》（TPNW）最相关的措施。它还通过国家执行的角度审查了TPNW中的其他义务，包括初始声明第2条（声明），第6条（受害人援助和环境补救）和第7条（国际合作与援助）。本文着重于TPNW缔约国在将国际协定移交给国家层面时应处理的关键要素：标准化；能力和资源；和国际援助。这样做的目的是协助国家和国际行为体执行工作。
