Abstract:
As of september 2018, 184 states ouf of 196 signed the nuclear test ban treaty with 167 ratifications. In a other hand, this means that more than 4.3 billions people residing in the ratifying countries are committed to the treaty principles. On the other hand, it is mandatory to have the ratification of countries listed in the annex 2, for the entry into force of the treaty. 8 states out of the 44 mandatory ratifications are still remaining. In this paper, we highlight with statistical analyses the engagement in favor of the treaty and in a safer world and draw the attention of the other countries that the world is waiting of their prompt action to go straight for a safer world. We underline, based on 2019 projections, that near 55% of the world population and representing more than 83% of habitable land ban nuclear tests. To generalize for the whole earth including ocean and land, we can say according to our analyse that 95% of the planet area are under nuclear test ban. The results are also a call to the 8 countries to join the path being drawn for nuclear test ban and peace by the world.
