Plus de 200 responsables des politiques de sécurité de 50 pays lancent un appel international.
Alors que les chefs d’État et de gouvernement du G7 se réunissent cette semaine à Hiroshima (19 et 21 mai 2023), l’un des deux seuls sites où l’on a pu constater les conséquences catastrophiques de l’utilisation d’armes nucléaires dans un conflit, plus de 200 dirigeants et experts de 50 États mettent en garde contre la volonté de séparer la maîtrise des armements nucléaires de la compétition entre grandes puissances.
Dans une déclaration commune coordonnée par l’European Leadership Network et l’Asia Pacific Leadership Network, quelque 26 anciens ministres des affaires étrangères et de la défense, six anciens chefs d’État, plus de 30 anciens ambassadeurs, de nombreux experts et universitaires de haut niveau et des dizaines d’anciens hauts fonctionnaires, y compris d’anciens secrétaires généraux de l’OTAN, secrétaires généraux adjoints et membres d’état-majors, dont le Commandant suprême des forces alliées en Europe (SACEUR), plaident en faveur d’une priorité en faveur de la maîtrise des armements nucléaires.
Les recommandations portent notamment sur la poursuite par la Russie et les États-Unis d’un cadre succédant au Traité New START, et sur la réaffirmation par tous les États de leur engagement à ne pas tester d’armes nucléaires et à déployer des efforts concertés en vue de l’entrée en vigueur du traité d’interdiction complète des essais nucléaires (CTBT).
Aux heures les plus sombres de la guerre froide, l’Union soviétique et les États-Unis ont pu discuter et s’entendre sur des mesures visant à réduire les risques de guerre nucléaire. Cette déclaration, approuvée par des contacts en Chine, en France, en Russie, au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis – les cinq États reconnus comme détenteurs d’armes nucléaires dans le cadre du traité de non-prolifération – soutient le retour à cette diplomatie et la protection du contrôle des armes nucléaires en tant qu’impératif mondial.

Déclaration du 17 mai 2023 : Protéger le contrôle des armes nucléaires est un impératif mondial
Le monde a cruellement besoin de davantage de contrôle des armements nucléaires, et non de moins de contrôle (1).
En tant que responsables de la politique de sécurité de 50 pays d’Europe, d’Amérique du Nord, d’Asie et du Pacifique, nous appelons les dirigeants de la Russie, des États-Unis, de la Chine, de la France et du Royaume-Uni à veiller à ce que la maîtrise des armements nucléaires ne soit pas une nouvelle victime des compétitions géopolitiques.
En janvier de l’année dernière, ces cinq dirigeants ont déclaré que la réduction des risques stratégiques et la prévention de la guerre entre les États dotés d’armes nucléaires étaient leurs principales responsabilités, et qu’une guerre nucléaire ne pouvait jamais être gagnée et ne devait jamais être menée. En novembre 2022, les dirigeants du G20 (dont les États-Unis, la Russie, la Chine, la France, le Royaume-Uni et l’Inde) sont collectivement convenus que l’utilisation ou la menace d’utilisation d’armes nucléaires est inadmissible.
Pourtant, les pourparlers sur la stabilité stratégique entre les États-Unis et la Russie sont dans les limbes et le nouveau traité START, qui a joué un rôle indispensable pour garantir la sécurité réciproque, est désormais remis en question. Seul accord de contrôle des armes nucléaires existant entre les États-Unis et la Russie, les deux plus grands pays dotés d’armes nucléaires au monde, l’effondrement ou l’expiration du traité sans remplacement menacerait d’entraîner une course aux armements déstabilisante.
Si l’on ne parvient pas à s’entendre sur un nouveau cadre de contrôle des armes nucléaires pour remplacer le Nouveau START avant son expiration en février 2026, il sera également plus difficile d’amener la Chine, la France et le Royaume-Uni à participer au contrôle multilatéral des armes, car ces trois pays ne sont pas prêts à envisager des limites à leurs arsenaux nucléaires tant que les États-Unis et la Russie n’auront pas réduit leurs stocks d’armes nucléaires.
L’aggravation de la concurrence entre les grandes puissances a rendu encore plus difficile la progression de la maîtrise des armements nucléaires et de la réduction des risques en général, par exemple dans le cadre du traité de non-prolifération nucléaire. Le non-respect des obligations découlant de ce traité affaiblit notre sécurité nationale et collective, et ne répond pas à l’exigence d’une responsabilité d’État.
Nous avons des points de vue très différents sur les droits et les inconvénients de la concurrence géopolitique actuelle. Mais nous sommes tous d’accord pour dire qu’il est grand temps de commencer à donner la priorité au contrôle des armes nucléaires et de prendre des mesures unilatérales, bilatérales et multilatérales.
Nous appelons les États du P5 dotés d’armes nucléaires à prendre des mesures pour entamer des pourparlers sur la stabilité stratégique à différents niveaux et à reprendre les pourparlers sur la réduction des risques stratégiques dans le cadre du P5.
Nous demandons à la Russie et aux États-Unis de compartimenter la maîtrise des armements nucléaires :
– en confirmant qu’ils ne dépasseront pas les limites fixées par le nouveau traité START pour les forces nucléaires déployées, qui n’ont pas été violées jusqu’à présent
– en acceptant de lever les obstacles à la pleine mise en œuvre de leurs obligations dans le cadre du New START et en reprenant les travaux de la Commission consultative bilatérale
– en s’engageant à poursuivre des négociations de bonne foi sur un cadre succédant au New START avant son expiration en 2026.
Nous appelons tous les États signataires du traité d’interdiction complète des essais nucléaires, ainsi que les autres États qui ne l’ont pas encore fait, à réaffirmer leur engagement à ne pas procéder à des essais d’armes nucléaires et à déployer des efforts concertés en vue de l’entrée en vigueur du traité.
1) Notons que cette exigence positive et urgente du contrôle des armes nucléaires à des fins de sécurité collective n’est en rien contradictoire, mais au contraire complémentaire de la perpective nécessaire de leur élimination, comme le prévoit le Traité d’interdiction des armes nucléaires adopté et légitimé dans le cadre de l’ONU.
