RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
[on the report of the First Committee (A/50/577)]
50/60.
Compliance with arms limitation and
disarmament agreements
The General Assembly,
Recalling its resolution 48/63 of 16 December 1993 and other relevant
resolutions on the question,
Recognizing the abiding concern of all Member States for maintaining
respect for rights and obligations arising from treaties and other sources of
international law,
Convinced that observance of the Charter of the United Nations, relevant
treaties and other sources of international law is essential for the
strengthening of international security,
Mindful, in particular, of the fundamental importance of full
implementation and strict observance of agreements and other obligations on
arms limitation and disarmament if individual nations and the international
community are to derive enhanced security from them,
Stressing that any violation of such agreements and other obligations
not only adversely affects the security of States parties but can also create
security risks for other States relying on the constraints and commitments
stipulated in those agreements and other obligations,
Stressing also that any weakening of confidence in such agreements and
other obligations diminishes their contribution to global or regional
stability and to further disarmament and arms limitation efforts and
undermines the credibility and effectiveness of the international legal
system,
