Fantastic news! Been waiting for this since I've been with the CTBTO 13 years ago.. No testing on land of the pacific nations anymore! Hopefully the 5 big nuclear weapon states will ratify the CTBT in my lifetime as well...

As long as there is a country that doesn't want to ban nuclear weapons, they will simply know that everyone else doesn't have nukes except for them.

I wouldn't say so. Israel is thought to have nuclear weapons, but they don't admit it. There could be others. There is a huge incentive to publicly support a ban while secretly having the weapons.
