It is noted that the countries that ratified this protocol pledged not to use nuclear weapons against or threaten the countries of Central Asia.
According to Tokayev, this step completes the process of institutionalizing the region’s nuclear-free status. It will also be an important step in international efforts towards nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
It should be noted that Central Asia is the only region in the Northern Hemisphere where the deployment of nuclear arsenals is prohibited. The protocol has been ratified by China, Russia, France and the UK. The United States remains the only nuclear power to sign but not ratify the protocol.
