PGA was very pleased to be informed earlier today by former PGA Member Mr. Edgar Herrera (now with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala) that the Congress of Guatemala has approved ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
Guatemala joined the more than 50 countries that have ratified the international treaty. This United Nations initiative required the support of 50 countries for the treaty to take effect. It was possible with the vote of Honduras in October 2020 and therefore, said treaty entered into force on January 22, 2021.
#URGENTE: el Pleno del Congreso aprueba el Decreto 15-2022, por medio del cuál Guatemala dice NO al uso de armas nucleares, al ratificar un Tratado firmado en la ciudad de Nueva York, EE.UU., el 7 de julio de 2017.
