Consolidation of the regime established by the Treaty for the Prohibition

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,
Welcoming the holding of the eleventh special session of the General Conference of the Agency for the
