International demand for ballistic missile test notification

Overview

Following a July 6 missile test by China in the Pacific Ocean, the United States and approximately 40 allies issued a joint statement demanding at least 24 hours of advance notice for the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and space launch vehicles (SLVs).

Signatories argued that unannounced tests increase the risk of miscalculation and undermine global stability. China rejected these claims, characterizing the statement as “political manipulation” and maintaining that its tests are conducted safely and responsibly.

Support for the initiative expanded when Indonesia formally endorsed the proposal at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. Indonesian officials stated that mandatory pre-launch notifications are vital for maintaining international stability and reducing the risk of military misperception.
