Description
The international community, mindful of the severe impact of nuclear test explosions, agreed to positive measures to reduce and prevent the further use of these weapons of mass destruction. Hence, the adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996 was an essential step in the field of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation for peace and security. Under the treaty, to support States Signatories to carry out their verification responsibilities, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) provides them with services and technical assistance. Through the organization of conferences, training, meetings and workshops, it offers States Signatories opportunities to participate and contribute to the implementation of the global verification monitoring. Programmes such as the National Data Centre workshop series, which brings to bear the technical assistance opportunities that the CTBTO provides. Through this forum, the information about the availability of the technical support programme under the capacity building system project for GCI-III/VSAT equipment was heard. Resulting in the request and receipt of GCI-III/VSAT equipment by the Republic of Ghana in July 2021 from the CTBTO. This study, therefore, seeks to demonstrate the opportunity to leverage the available services and technical assistance that CTBTO provides under the Treaty.
