| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Ambassador Jaap Ramaker of the Netherlands served as chairman of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) negotiations. In this article, Ambassador Ramaker reflects on the negotiating process and the ways in which concrete progress of the CTBT ratification process could enhance international peace and security. Ratification by the two remaining nuclear-weapon states would constitute an essential first step and also create a possible area of cooperation between Russia and then United States on a nuclear issue that, for these two states, has long been non-controversial. |
