Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO)

The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) is an international agency responsible for monitoring and verifying that countries do not conduct nuclear explosions. It operates a global network of specialized sensors and stations to detect any underground, underwater, or atmospheric nuclear tests. The organization's goal is to promote nuclear disarmament and ensure compliance with the treaty by providing reliable, impartial detection data. Although the treaty itself has not yet entered into force, the CTBTO plays a vital role in fostering transparency, security, and non-proliferation efforts worldwide.
