The CTBT was opened for signature in 1996 and has been signed by 186 States and ratified by 177 States, including Congo. However, it has not yet entered into force, as eight States listed in Annex 2 of the Treaty have not ratified it: China, Egypt, India, Iran, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, and the United States.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23dac46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23dac46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>H.E.
