ABSTRACT

How might the Treaty on the Prohibition on Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) help prevent the use of nuclear weapons? Since the adoption of the TPNW in 2017, much has been said about the Treaty’s impact on nuclear disarmament. Less has been said about how the Treaty’s international humanitarian law (IHL)-based prohibition of the use of nuclear weapons may be best leveraged to further strengthen the long-standing norm against such use. This article explores how the design of the first meeting of States Parties to the TPNW may help ensure respect for the Treaty’s prohibition on the use of nuclear weapons.

核禁忌的未来：构建 TPNW 的影响

摘要

《禁止核武器条约》（TPNW）如何帮助防止使用核武器？自 2017 年通过 TPNW 以来，关于该条约对核裁军的影响已经说了很多。关于如何最好地利用条约中基于国际人道法 (IHL) 的禁止使用核武器来进一步加强长期存在的禁止使用核武器的规范，鲜为人知。本文探讨了 TPNW 缔约国第一次会议的设计如何有助于确保遵守该条约禁止使用核武器的规定。
