I am aware of recent media reports about the possibility of the Russian Federation revoking its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).
The Russian Federation has consistently reaffirmed its strong support of the CTBT since its very inception, helping to negotiate the Treaty in the Conference on Disarmament, signing the day it opened for signature on 24 September 1996, and ratifying it in June 2000.
Russia plays an important role in the work of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, hosting the second largest segment of International Monitoring System (IMS) stations (32 stations) which, thanks to the dedicated work of Russian officials, is to be completed this year.
It would be concerning and deeply unfortunate if any State Signatory were to reconsider its ratification of the CTBT. We have seen renewed momentum in ratifications in the last two years, to a current total of 178 States.
The CTBT has established a powerful norm against nuclear testing and is making an invaluable contribution to international peace and security, for the good of humanity. It is more important than ever that we reinforce that contribution.
I look forward to continued close cooperation with the Russian Federation and all States that have committed to creating a world free of nuclear testing.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
