US pressures NATO states to vote no to the ban treaty
http://www.icanw.org/campaign-news/us-pressures-nato-states-to-vote-no-to-the-ban-treaty/
November 1, 2016
In a document from October 17, the United States warned other NATO
members that efforts to negotiate a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons
or to delegitimise nuclear deterrence “are fundamentally at odds with
NATO’s basic policies on deterrence”.
In the letter, the US government strongly urges allies and partners to
vote no to the resolution, and “not to merely abstain.” and continues
to argue that “if negotiations do commence, we ask allies and partners
to refrain from joining them.”
Despite claiming that a ban treaty without the nuclear armed states
would be meaningless, the US letter outline what they believe would be
clear military implications of a ban treaty and for NATO. The document
shows that the United States believe a treaty prohibiting nuclear
weapons, even without the participation of nuclear-armed states, would
indeed have a significant impact.
The document was circulated the week before governments voted on L.41,
the resolution to start negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear
weapons.
While public pressure and parliamentary calls to support and
participate in a ban treaty process are increasing in NATO countries,
all NATO member states except one heeded to the US call in this paper
and voted no. Only Netherlands, with a clear decision to support a ban
treaty from its parliament, abstained.
Below is some published analysis and commentary from ICAN partner
organisations and other experts on NATO issues. (to be updated as more
is available)

コメント:「たとい非核保有国だけの反対でも非常に影響力は大きい」ことは確実であり、
核兵器とその所有国の非人道性・非人間性・非倫理性(独占・独専使用という利己・他無視)
は条約により増々明らかになる。最も緊急な危険を「段階的に」と誤魔化す日米政権は核廃絶
に明らかに反対しており最初の原爆被害者・加害者の意味を全く理解していない。オバマと
安倍の広島訪問・核廃絶宣言は妄想・虚言になった。
