50/77.
Consolidation of the regime established by
the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean
(Treaty of Tlatelolco)
The General Assembly,
Recalling that in its resolution 1911 (XVIII) of 27 November 1963 it
expressed the hope that the States of Latin America would take appropriate
measures to conclude a treaty that would prohibit nuclear weapons in Latin
America,
Recalling also that in the same resolution it voiced its confidence
that, once such a treaty was concluded, all States, and in particular the
nuclear-weapon States, would lend it their full cooperation for the effective
realization of its peaceful aims,
Considering that in its resolution 2028 (XX) of 19 November 1965 it
established the principle of an acceptable balance of mutual responsibilities
and obligations between nuclear-weapon States and those which do not possess
such weapons,
Recalling that the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in
Latin America and the Caribbean (Treaty of Tlatelolco) 1/ was opened for
signature at Mexico City on 14 February 1967,
Recalling also that in its preamble the Treaty of Tlatelolco states that
military denuclearized zones are not an end in themselves but rather a means
for achieving general and complete disarmament at a later stage,
Recalling further that in its resolution 2286 (XXII) of 5 December 1967
