In 1996 the nuclear Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was opened for signing at the UN. http://www.ctbto.org/the-treaty/1993-1996-treaty-negotiations/1996-ctbt-a-long-sought-success/page-1-1996-ctbt-a-long-sought-success/ states "The General Assembly voted 158 in favor of the treaty on 10 September 1996, with three countries against five abstentions."
Countries who are recognized nuclear countries by and large try to discourage nuclear testing by any nuclear wannabes. However, there is a limit to how far they can go in enforcing that preference. Established nuclear powers have ceased testing, though George W. Bush reopened to doubt whether the US would consider new tests while he was in office, though no actual new testing took place.
