Abstract

The article analyzes the need to find a way out of the crisis with the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty entry into force and its influence on the nuclear nonproliferation regime. The CTBT will be in force after all the 44 Annex 2 states ratify it. However, there are still 8 non-ratifying states from the list including world players like China and the U. S. The author sees the possibility of subsequent domino effect of the United States’ ratification for the universalization of the CTBT and strengthening the regime in the whole.
