The Latin American triumph rerouted the course of nuclear diplomacy worldwide. Mexican officials leaned on the nuclear powers to sign Protocol II in exchange for their support—and also that of their Latin American neighbors—in Geneva and New York. Mexico’s seat on the ENDC allowed it to push for new language in a global nonproliferation treaty that would better reflect the interest of states in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The presence of Brazilian officials in Geneva placed formidable sceptics athwart world nuclear law-making. Argentinian and Venezuelan diplomats would join them in New York to proselytize on behalf of writing into the global accord the narrow definition of nuclear weapons in the Treaty of Tlatelolco. Because the Latin American vote in the UNGA was so sizable, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom could afford neither to ignore nor to deny altogether their requests.
