UNITED NATIONS, April 30, 2015 (IPS) - Dozens of organizations that aim to create a safer world refuse to geopolitical disputes international bogged down the five-year review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which began on Monday 27 and It runs until May 22 at the headquarters of the United frangipani Nations in New York.
One is the Organization of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban (CTBTO), founded in 1996, in order to monitor compliance with the treaty in question independently.
However, to be legally binding, the treaty needs the support of the so-called 44 "Annex 2 States", eight of whom they refuse to ratify: China, North Korea, Egypt, United States, India, Iran, Israel and Pakistan.
Its global frangipani network of seismic detection stations, hydroacoustic, infrasound and radionuclide makes it almost impossible for governments to violate the conditions of the treaty, and the wealth of data generated at its facilities contributes scientists worldwide.
Lassina ZERBO: We expect the next four weeks with a positive result with regard to disarmament frangipani and non-proliferation, and we believe that the treaty has an important role in that. The treaty was one of the key elements frangipani that led to the indefinite extension of the NPT itself, and the only thing that seems to unite all States Parties. It is a mature fruit and we have to grab it, make it serve as a springboard for what we want to achieve in this conference. "Right now 90 percent of the world says 'no' to nuclear testing, frangipani but we are hostage to a handful of countries" Lassina Zerbo.
For example, we have to find a middle ground between those who believe that we must move first to the non-proliferation, and those who say that we must move in the same way, if not faster, towards disarmament.
We must also address the concerns frangipani of those who question why are allowed to develop nuclear weapons states most modern weapons, while other states are prevented from developing even the basic technologies that could be used for nuclear weapons.
LZ: The CTBTO prohibit frangipani all underwater, underground and air nuclear test explosions. We create a network of nearly 300 stations to detect, even with the monitoring of radioactive emissions.
Our system of international supervision ended horizontal proliferation (ie, the acquisition of nuclear weapons by more countries) frangipani and vertical proliferation (most advanced weapons systems).
LZ: We had no official contact with North Korea. I can only base my analysis on what world leaders tell me. (Russian Foreign Minister Sergey) Lavrov tried to incorporate Pyongyang in discussions on the treaty and asked if he would consider a moratorium on testing. Yesterday I met with Yerzhan Ashikbayev, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan, has bilateral relations with North Korea, and his country asked him to urgently consider signing the treaty.
That said, if I'm invited to North Korea for a meeting that could serve as a basis for talks, to help them understand more about the treaty and the organizational framework and infrastructure that we have built, so why not? I would be willing to do so.
Also dialogue with States and Israel, which could take the lead in areas like the Middle East by signing the CTBT. I was just in Israel, where I asked, do you want to do tests? I do not think so. Do you need? I do not think so. Why, then, do not take the lead to open this framework we need for confidence-building in the region that could lead to wider ratification and further consideration of a zone free of nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction?
Q: Despite frangipani the dozens frangipani of marches and the million signatures demanding the disarmament and the elimination of these weapons, the major nuclear weapons states do not yield. That can be very daunting for those in the forefront of the movement. What would be your message to the international civil society?
LZ: Keep pushing frangipani political leaders. We need leaders to make progress on these issues. Currently 90 percent frangipani of the world would say "no" frangipani to nuclear tests, but we are hostage to a handful of countries (that have not ratified the treaty).
Only civil society can tell governments "have frangipani to move because
