The Verification Regime

The IMS consists of 337 facilities worldwide which monitor the planet for signs of nuclear explosions. Over 90% of the facilities are already in operation, and the IDC in Vienna continuously processes this data stream. Both raw data and analysis results are made available to all 184 States Signatories of the CTBT. The processing and analysis of data from different sources must ultimately present an integrated picture to assist those who have to decide if an OSI should be conducted in order to clarify whether the Treaty has been violated.

About The Treaty

The 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans all nuclear explosions, everywhere and by everyone. Before the CTBT can enter into force, all of the 44 countries listed in Annex 2 of the Treaty must ratify. These countries possessed nuclear power or research reactors when the CTBT was negotiated. Eight of the Annex 2 States have not yet ratified: the People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the State of Israel, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the United States of America.
