《全面禁止核试验条约》在1996年通过后仍未生效，人们为此已等了很久。在我们等待各国普遍加入该条约的同时，它们应避免进行可能会破坏该条约目标的核武器试验或任何其他核爆。柬埔寨欢迎刚刚签署和批准该条约的新国家，同时呼吁其余国家毫不拖延地签署和批准《禁核试条约》。柬埔寨和其他会员国一样认识到，虽然我们强烈反对核武器，但所有国家都有权将核能用于发展目的。
Following its adoption in 1996, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty still remains a treaty whose entry into force is long awaited. While we wait for the universalization of the Treaty, States should refrain from conducting nuclear-weapon tests or any other nuclear explosion that could undermine the objective of the Treaty. While welcoming new countries that have just signed it and those that have just ratified it, Cambodia calls on the remaining countries to sign and ratify the CTBT without delay. Cambodia joins other Member States in recognizing that while we are strongly opposed to nuclear weapons, all States have the right to use nuclear energy for development purposes.
