What Does CTBT Stand For?

CTBT stands for Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty

The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) is an international agreement aimed at prohibiting all nuclear test explosions and any other nuclear detonation activities. Established to enhance global security and promote disarmament, the treaty seeks to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and foster a climate of trust among nations. Although the CTBT was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996, it has not yet entered into force, as several key states have not ratified it. The treaty is monitored by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), which oversees verification measures to ensure compliance.
