The African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, commonly known as the Treaty of Pelindaba,
declares that the "African nuclear-weapon-free zone will constitute an important step towards
strengthening the non-proliferation regime, promoting cooperation in the peaceful uses of
nuclear energy, promoting general and complete disarmament and enhancing regional
and international peace and security".1
This article provides a brief historical background to
the treaty and an update of developments in its implementation since its entry into force,
including the First Conference of State Parties, in November 2010.
