Yes, nuclear disarmament has gone viral.

A bill amending the Arms Act has been tabled and is currently before the House of Representatives.

But he's offering 84 billion dollars for the modernizing of nuclear weapons.

Support and continue to work towards the establishment of nuclear weapon free zones in order to prevent proliferation and advance disarmament

These trials involved munitions supplied by the Iraqi chemical weapons programme and an aerosol spray device modified specifically for the biological weapons programme.

States continued their discussions to promote better implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention.

Improvised weapon systems can be constructed from various components to commit terrorist acts.

The Firearms Act does not provide for the sharing of information with foreign counterparts to enable cooperation in preventing illegal shipments of firearms.

(b) Pledge full compliance with all articles of the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, and the Chemical Weapons Convention in order to further strengthen the multilateral framework for non proliferation and disarmament, and in particular

(iv) Concrete agreed measures to reduce further the operational status of nuclear weapons systems

1. Calls for further practical steps to be taken to decrease the operational readiness of nuclear weapons systems, with a view to ensuring that all nuclear weapons are removed from high alert status

(v) A diminishing role for nuclear weapons in security policies to minimize the risk that these weapons will ever be used and to facilitate the process of their total elimination

This is what is envisaged in the call for the commencement of negotiations leading to the conclusion of a nuclear weapons convention or a framework of instruments for the complete abolition and elimination of nuclear weapons.

We must continue practical, systematic and progressive efforts to advance nuclear disarmament globally and reduce nuclear weapons towards a world free of nuclear weapons.

(iv) Concrete agreed measures to reduce further the operational status of nuclear weapons systems

The Council should also enable peacekeeping operations to initiate tracing requests in relation to those weapons.

negotiations on complete nuclear disarmament, i.e. the complete abolition and elimination of nuclear weapons.

It was noted that Nuclear Weapon Free Zones (NWFZs) provide security benefits in a region beyond just solidifying a ban on nuclear weapons they also serve as confidence building and peacemaking vehicles.

(i) The prohibition of those types of non strategic nuclear weapons that have already been removed from the arsenals of some nuclear weapon States and the development of transparency mechanisms for the verification of the elimination of these weapons

We believe that as long as nuclear weapons exist and are stockpiled by some nations for their narrow security interests, exhortations about non proliferation will continue to ring hollow.

7. Also calls for concrete agreed measures to reduce further the operational status of non strategic nuclear weapons systems so as to reduce the risk of use of non strategic nuclear weapons

Ms. Aghajanian (Armenia) said that the NPT had been a cornerstone for international security by mobilizing international efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

Within the framework of the United Nations, three interconnected and mutually reinforcing processes are under way the first is the Firearms Protocol the second is an ongoing process to develop an additional international instrument to identify and trace illicit small arms and light weapons and the third is aimed at controlling brokering in small arms and light weapons.

To enforce the arms embargo effectively, it is critical that both the border crossings and the Somali coastline be monitored effectively.

From this perspective, the FMCT, prohibiting the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons, is extremely important, not only for nuclear disarmament, but also for nuclear non proliferation.

Moreover, the Obama administration should try to work with Russia and China to enforce the Chemical Weapons Convention.

The Conference reaffirms the necessity of a diminishing role for nuclear weapons in security policies to minimize the risk that these weapons will ever be used and to facilitate the process of their total elimination.

Work has begun on a joint study with the South Eastern Europe Clearinghouse for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SEESAC) and the University of Bradford to investigate the costs of destroying small arms and light weapons.

Some of those disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes also emphasize weapons collection strategies at the community level, which are complemented by support to develop small arms and light weapons control regimes and the capacity of national Governments to deal with the proliferation of such weapons.

8. Stresses the need for an undertaking by the nuclear weapon States that possess such weapons not to increase the number or types of weapons deployed and not to develop new types of these weapons or rationalizations for their use

(a) Recognize that education on disarmament and non proliferation is important to make progress towards the full implementation of disarmament and non proliferation obligations under the NPT

This might prove to be an insurmountable obstacle to realizing the Obama administration s vision of a nuclear weapons free world.

We welcome the efforts of the BWC States parties to develop concerted mechanisms with a view to its strengthening.

Acknowledging the right of all States to manufacture, import, export, transfer and retain conventional arms for self defence and security needs, and in order to participate in peace support operations,

Nuclear weapon States must reduce their stockpiles in an effort to discourage proliferation and to move towards the total destruction of all nuclear weapons, the only absolute guarantee of safety.

Noting the efforts by the States possessing the largest inventories of nuclear weapons to reduce their stockpiles of such weapons through bilateral agreements or arrangements and unilateral decisions, and calling for the intensification of such efforts to accelerate the significant reduction of nuclear weapon arsenals,

The Commission adopted the following two agenda items for its 2006 substantive session as follows Recommendations for achieving the objective of nuclear disarmament and non proliferation of nuclear weapons and Practical confidence building measures in the field of conventional weapons.

A new set of rules for diplomacy, military strategy, and arms control is needed to stabilize this emerging nuclear order.
