“…In 2010, the President of the ICRC called for a new debate on nuclear weapons, one "conducted not only on the basis of military doctrines and power politics", but also on the basis of "the fundamental rules of international humanitarian law, and [considerations of] the collective future of humanity" (Kellenberger 2010). This led to the organization in 2013 and 2014 of three intergovernmental conferences on the humanitarian consequences of the use nuclear weapons, which built the case for the negotiations, ultimately, the adoption of the TPNW in 2017 (Borrie, Spies, and Wan 2018).…”

“…A ican é lançada oficialmente em 2006 no Congresso Global da iPPnw em Helsinki, Finlândia, e em princípio é capitaneada e financiada na Austrália pela Associação Médica pela Prevenção da Guerra (maPw) e a Poola Foundation, respectivamente (Gibbons, 2018;Ruff, 2018). Apesar de em novembro daquele ano já ter estabelecido escritório em Melbourne, a oing inicia seus trabalhos em âmbito internacional somente na reunião preparatória para a Oitava Conferência de Revisão do tnP realizada em 2007, em Viena (Borrie et al, 2018).…”

“…A campanha pelo Tratado de Proibição de Armamentos Nucleares começa de fato somente entre 2010 e 2012 após discurso de Jakob Kellemberger, então presidente da Cruz Vermelha, na Oitava Conferência de Revisão do tnP. Naquele momento as preferências da ican são parcialmente reestruturadas: se antes o foco era o desarmamento, se passa a advogar pela abolição do uso (Borrie et al, 2018).…”

“…Ainda uma oing jovem em busca de afirmação a ican capitaliza sua campanha nestes moldes, internalizando novo discurso e modificando suas preferências relativas à questão nuclear. O que se potencializa em 2012 pela decisão da Noruega de financiar seus trabalhos e de convocar no ano seguinte com a ajuda da ican uma conferência internacional sobre o tema (Borrie et al, 2018).…”

El objetivo general de este artículo es demostrar el proceso por el cual una Organización Internacional No Gubernamental (OING), a partir del proceso de desarrollo de una pregunta marco en la agenda internacional fue capaz de influenciar resultados en una Organización Internacional. Específicamente, se buscó comprender el papel desempeñado por la ICAN (en inglés International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) en la aprobación del Tratado sobre Prohibición de Armas Nucleares (TPAN) por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas el 17 de julio de 2017. Siendo este el objetivo, en términos metodológicos, se adoptó el process-tracing, habiendo sido el mecanismo causal construido y guiado a partir del marco teórico propuesto por Jutta Joachim (2007). Finalmente, se espera contribuir a la literatura en Relaciones Internacionales al proponer un estudio centrado en los procesos de negociación en medio del sistema de gobernanza global, específicamente, en lo que concierne al papel de las OING y su interrelación con otros actores de relevancia internacional.

“…The role of transnational advocacy networks, particularly the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons and the International Committee of the Red Cross, is further explicated by Borrie, Spies and Wan, who identify and analyse the emergence of the new humanitarian discourse and norms as applied to nuclear weapons in the three successive 2013-2014 Intergovernmental Conferences in Oslo, Nayarit and Vienna; and note that, unlike the chemical and biological weapon prohibition conventions, the nuclear possessor states have reacted more strongly to seek to counter the normative challenges posed to their continued possession of nuclear weapons (Borrie, Spies, and Wan 2018).…”

The July 2017 UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will come into force when 50 UN Member States ratify it. The new treaty has been condemned by nuclear weapon states on the grounds of its claimed adverse impacts on Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and for not taking account of progress through stepby-step incremental measures. Supporters of the new treaty, including 122 UN Member states, have been concerned about the lack of substantive nuclear disarmament progress as envisaged under Article VI of the NPT. This study analyses the arguments for and against the new treaty in the context of recent 2018 NPT and Conference on Disarmament (CD) sessions, and regional nuclear disarmament arrangements. It draws upon the discussions and debates at the Geneva 23 April-4 May 2018 NPT Preparatory Committee, and positions taken in the 2018 CD sessions, to assess immediate and potential longer-term impacts of the TPNW. The roles of regional measures nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZs) and weapon-of-mass-destruction-free zones (WMDFZs) are also considered in the context of the TPNW and the NPT. The study argues that the TPNW, through its normative delegitimation and stigmatisation of nuclear weapons, is already creating a discernible impetus for substantive nuclear disarmament within and beyond the NPT and CD forums, despite the present resistance mounted by the nine nuclear-armed states.
