The Committee has previously indicated that nuclear weapons are incompatible with the right to life under the treaty. ICANⁱ argues that Australia is in breach of its obligations in four ways: by supporting preparations for nuclear war carried out at Pine Gap; by allowing US nuclear-armed vessels to enter our waters; by relying on the "protection" of US nuclear deterrence; and by exporting uranium to nuclear-armed countries.
