14. Calls upon nuclear-weapon States to undertake the necessary steps
towards the seamless integration of all five nuclear-weapon States into a process
leading to the total elimination of nuclear weapons;
15. Agrees that the Conference on Disarmament should establish without
delay an ad hoc committee to deal with nuclear disarmament;
16. Agrees also that the Conference on Disarmament should resume
negotiations on a non-discriminatory, multilateral and internationally and effectively
verifiable treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or
other nuclear explosive devices, taking into consideration both nuclear disarmament
and nuclear non-proliferation objectives;
17. Agrees further that the Conference on Disarmament should complete the
examination and updating of the mandate on the prevention of an arms race in outer
space in all its aspects, as contained in its decision of 13 February 1992, 10 and
re-establish an ad hoc committee as early as possible;
18. Calls upon those three States that are not yet parties to the Treaty on the
Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and operate unsafeguarded nuclear facilities
to accede to the Treaty as non-nuclear-weapon States, promptly and without
condition, and to bring into force the required comprehensive safeguards
agreements, together with additional protocols, consistent with the Model Protocol
Additional to the Agreement(s) between State(s) and the International Atomic
Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards approved by the Board of
Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency on 15 May 1997, 11 for
ensuring nuclear non-proliferation, and to reverse clearly and urgently any policies
to pursue any nuclear weapons development or deployment and refrain from any
action that could undermine regional and international peace and security and the
efforts of the international community towards nuclear disarmament and the
prevention of nuclear weapons proliferation;
19. Calls upon those States that have not yet done so to conclude full-scope
safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency and to
conclude additional protocols to their safeguards agreements on the basis of the
Model Protocol;
20. Reaffirms the conviction that the establishment of internationally
recognized nuclear-weapon-free zones on the basis of arrangements freely arrived at
among the States of the region concerned enhances global and regional peace and
security, strengthens the nuclear non-proliferation regime and contributes towards
realizing the objective of nuclear disarmament, and supports proposals for the
establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones where they do not yet exist, such as in
the Middle East and South Asia;
21. Calls for the completion and implementation of the Trilateral Initiative
between the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Russian Federation and the
United States of America and for consideration to be given to the possible inclusion
of other nuclear-weapon States;
