This Commentary offers detailed background and analysis of the
Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which was adopted at
the UN Headquarters in New York in July 2017. The Treaty
comprehensively prohibits the use, development, export, and
possession of nuclear weapons. Stuart Casey-Maslen, a leading
expert in the field who served as legal adviser to the Austrian
Delegation during the negotiations of this Treaty, works through
article by article, describing how each provision was negotiated
and what it implies for states that join the Treaty. As the Treaty
provisions cut across various branches of international law, the
Commentary goes beyond a discussion of disarmament to consider the
law of armed conflict, human rights, and the law on inter-state use
of force. The Commentary examines the relationship with other
treaties addressing nuclear weapons, in particular the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Background on the
development and possession of nuclear weapons and theories of
nuclear deterrence is provided. Particular attention is paid to
controversial issues such as assistance for prohibited activities,
the meaning of 'threaten to use', and the definition of nuclear
explosive devices. Casey-Maslen also considers whether a member of
NATO or other nuclear alliance can lawfully become a state party to
the Treaty.
