The UK remains a strong supporter of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. During the last six months we have continued to press states, including the US, who have not yet signed and ratified the Treaty to do so. Most recently, during the 2018 Preparatory Committee of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the UK made two statements promoting these goals.
