The States Parties to this Treaty,

Determined to contribute to the realization of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,

Deeply concerned about the catastrophic humanitarian consequences that would result from any use of nuclear weapons, and recognizing the consequent need to completely eliminate such weapons, which remains the only way to guarantee that nuclear weapons are never used again under any circumstances,

Mindful of the risks posed by the continued existence of nuclear weapons, including from any nuclear-weapon detonation by accident, miscalculation or design, and emphasizing that these risks concern the security of all humanity, and that all States share the responsibility to prevent any use of nuclear weapons,

Cognizant that the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons cannot be adequately addressed, transcend national borders, pose grave implications for human survival, the environment, socioeconomic development, the global economy, food security and the health of current and future generations, and have a disproportionate impact on women and girls, including as a result of ionizing radiation,

Acknowledging the ethical imperatives for nuclear disarmament and the urgency of achieving and maintaining a nuclear-weapon-free world, which is a global public good of the highest order, serving both national and collective security interests,

Mindful of the unacceptable suffering of and harm caused to the victims of the use of nuclear weapons (hibakusha), as well as of those affected by the testing of nuclear weapons,

Recognizing the disproportionate impact of nuclear-weapon activities on indigenous peoples,

Reaffirming the need for all States at all times to comply with applicable international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law,

Basing themselves on the principles and rules of international humanitarian law, in particular the principle that the right of parties to an armed conflict to choose methods or means of warfare is not unlimited, the rule of distinction, the prohibition against indiscriminate attacks, the rules on proportionality and precautions in attack, the prohibition on the use of weapons of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering, and the rules for the protection of the natural environment,

Considering that any use of nuclear weapons would be contrary to the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, in particular the principles and rules of international humanitarian law,

Reaffirming that any use of nuclear weapons would also be abhorrent to the principles of humanity and the dictates of public conscience,

Recalling that, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, States must refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations, and that the establishment and maintenance of international peace and security are to be promoted with the least diversion for armaments of the world’s human and economic resources,

Recalling also the first resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations, adopted on 24 January 1946, and subsequent resolutions which call for the elimination of nuclear weapons,

Concerned by the slow pace of nuclear disarmament, the continued reliance on nuclear weapons in military and security concepts, doctrines and policies, and the waste of economic and human resources on programmes for the production, maintenance and modernization of nuclear weapons,

Recognizing that a legally binding prohibition of nuclear weapons constitutes an important contribution towards the achievement and maintenance of a world free of nuclear weapons, including the irreversible, verifiable and transparent elimination of nuclear weapons, and determined to act towards that end,

Determined to act with a view to achieving effective progress towards general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control,

Reaffirming that there exists an obligation to pursue in good faith and bring to a conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects under strict and effective international control,

Reaffirming also that the full and effective implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which serves as the cornerstone of the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime, has a vital role to play in promoting international peace and security,

Recognizing the vital importance of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and its verification regime as a core element of the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime,

Reaffirming the conviction that the establishment of the internationally recognized nuclear-weapon-free zones on the basis of arrangements freely arrived at among the States of the region concerned enhances global and regional peace and security, strengthens the nuclear non-proliferation regime and contributes towards realizing the objective of nuclear disarmament,

Emphasizing that nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of its States Parties to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination,

Recognizing that the equal, full and effective participation of both women and men is an essential factor for the promotion and attainment of sustainable peace and security, and committed to supporting and strengthening the effective participation of women in nuclear disarmament,

Recognizing also the importance of peace and disarmament education in all its aspects and of raising awareness of the risks and consequences of nuclear weapons for current and future generations, and committed to the dissemination of the principles and norms of this Treaty,

Stressing the role of public conscience in the furthering of the principles of humanity as evidenced by the call for the total elimination of nuclear weapons, and recognizing the efforts to that end undertaken by the United Nations, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, other international and regional organizations, non-governmental organizations, religious leaders, parliamentarians, academics and the hibakusha,

 7日採択の核兵器禁止条約の全文は次の通り。

 【前文】

 本条約の締約国は、
 国連憲章の目的と原則の実現に貢献することを決意。
 核兵器の使用によって引き起こされる破局的な人道上の結末を深く懸念し、そのような兵器全廃の重大な必要性を認識、全廃こそがいかなる状況においても核兵器が二度と使われないことを保証する唯一の方法である。
 偶発や誤算あるいは意図に基づく核兵器の爆発を含め、核兵器が存在し続けることで生じる危険性に留意。これらの危険性は全人類の安全保障に関わり、全ての国が核兵器の使用防止に向けた責任を共有していることを強調。
 核兵器の破局的な結果には十分に対処できない上、国境を越え、人類の生存や環境、社会経済の開発、地球規模の経済、食料安全保障および現在と将来世代の健康に対する深刻な関連性を示し、ならびに電離放射線の結果を含めた母体や少女に対する不釣り合いな影響を認識。
 核軍縮ならびに核兵器なき世界の実現および維持の緊急性に対する倫理的責務を認識し、これは国家および集団的な安全保障の利益にかなう最高次元での地球規模の公共の利益である。
 核兵器の使用による被害者(ヒバクシャ)ならびに核兵器の実験によって影響を受けた人々に引き起こされる受け入れ難い苦痛と危害に留意。
 核兵器に関わる活動で先住民に対する不釣り合いに大きな影響を認識。
 全ての国は国際人道法や国際人権法を含め、適用される国際法を常に順守する必要性があることを再確認。
 国際人道法の原則や規則を基礎とし、とりわけ武装紛争の当事者が戦時において取り得る方法や手段の権利は無制限ではないという原則、区別の規則、無差別攻撃の禁止、均衡の規則、攻撃の予防措置、過度な負傷や不要な苦痛を引き起こす兵器使用の禁止、自然保護の規則。
 いかなる核兵器の使用も武力紛争に適用される国際法の規則、とりわけ人道法の原則と規則に反していることを考慮。
 いかなる核兵器の使用も人間性の原則や公共の良心の指図に反することを考慮。
 各国は国連憲章に基づき、国際関係においていかなる国の領土の一体性や政治的独立、あるいはその他の国連の目的にそぐわない形での武力による威嚇や使用を抑制すべき点を想起し、さらに国際平和と安全の確立と維持は世界の人的、経済的資源を極力軍備に回さないことで促進される点を想起。
 1946年1月24日に採択された国連総会の最初の決議ならびに核兵器の廃棄を求めるその後の決議を想起。
 核軍縮の遅い歩みに加え、軍事や安全保障上の概念や教義、政策における核兵器への継続的依存、ならびに核兵器の生産や維持、現代化の計画に対する経済的、人的資源の浪費を懸念。
 核兵器について後戻りせず、検証可能で透明性のある廃棄を含め、核兵器の法的拘束力を持った禁止は核兵器なき世界の実現と維持に向けて重要な貢献となる点を認識し、その実現に向けて行動することを決意。
 厳密かつ効果的な国際管理の下、総合的かつ完全な軍縮に向けた効果的な進展の実現を視野に行動することを決意。
 厳密かつ効果的な国際管理の下での核軍縮のための交渉を誠実に追求し、結論を出す義務があることを再確認。
 核軍縮と不拡散体制の礎石である核拡散防止条約の完全かつ効果的な履行は国際平和と安全を促進する上で極めて重要な役割を有する点を再確認。
 核軍縮と不拡散体制の核心的要素として、包括的核実験禁止条約とその検証体制の不可欠な重要性を再確認。
 国際的に認知されている非核地帯は関係する国々の間における自由な取り決めを基に創設され、地球規模および地域の平和と安全を強化している点、ならびに核不拡散体制を強化し、さらに核軍縮の目標実現に向け貢献している点を再確認。
 本条約は、締約諸国が一切の差別なく平和目的での核エネルギーの研究と生産、使用を進めるという譲れない権利に悪影響を及ぼすとは解釈されないことを強調。
 平等かつ完全で効果的な女性と男性双方の参加は持続性ある平和と安全の促進・達成の重要な要素であり、核軍縮における女性の効果的な参加の支持と強化に取り組むことを再確認。
 あらゆる側面における平和と軍縮教育、ならびに現代および将来世代における核兵器の危険性と結果を認知する重要性を認識し、さらに本条約の原則と規範の普及に向けて取り組む。
 核兵器廃絶への呼び掛けでも明らかなように人間性の原則の推進における公共の良心の役割を強調し、国連や赤十字国際委員会、その他の国際・地域の機構、非政府組織、宗教指導者、国会議員、学界ならびにヒバクシャによる目標達成への努力を認識。
 以下のように合意。
