Step 4 Nuclear disarmament in the Conference on Disarmament

Report of the Conference on Disarmament

Report of the Conference on Disarmament

What is the CD? The CD is a conference room, a secretariat and a number of government envoys.

The Conference on Disarmament will be finalizing its work programme, which will include resuming negotiations on a number of disarmament issues and continuing the promotion of global disarmament, in accordance with its agenda.

He will be missed in the CD.

Many Member States considered that there was an urgent need to reinvigorate the disarmament machinery, especially the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission, in order to continue to seek solutions to the current deadlock in the area of multilateral disarmament.

60 90. Report of the Conference on Disarmament

The Conference on Disarmament is a negotiating body.

The draft resolution takes note of the work done by the Conference on Disarmament in 2005, in particular recognizing the importance of the presence of a number of ministers for foreign affairs which reflected the political support of their countries for the work of the Conference on Disarmament, as the sole multilateral disarmament negotiating forum.

The stalemate we are witnessing in the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission is a clear reflection of the situation in the world of disarmament.

The CD is the only multilateral negotiating forum in the field of disarmament.

The CD stands for multilateralism in the area of disarmament and arms control.

As such, we cherish the importance of the Conference on Disarmament as the appropriate forum for the discussion of disarmament issues.

The Conference on Disarmament is already going through a period of chronic impasse and the Disarmament Commission is in a state of paralysis.

The Committee on Disarmament was redesignated the Conference on Disarmament as from 7 February 1984.

I refer in particular to the Conference on Disarmament.

First, the Conference on Disarmament (CD) is passing through a prolonged impasse.

It will, however, take more than a handful of Foreign Ministers showing up this week at the Conference on Disarmament to effect a real change.

15. Agrees that the Conference on Disarmament should establish without delay an ad hoc committee to deal with nuclear disarmament

Bolivia shared the growing concern at the stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament and the United Nations Disarmament Commission, which had not been able to reach consensus on a substantive agenda for several years.

The Conference on Disarmament must continue to serve as the negotiating forum for disarmament and non proliferation treaties.

That goal can be achieved through the Conference on Disarmament or a special session of the Disarmament Commission.

Other disarmament machinery and frameworks, including the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission, which are currently stagnating, are also facing profound challenges.

The PRESIDENT (translated from Spanish) As we begin this session of the Conference on Disarmament, I wish first to welcome our colleague, Ambassador Johannes Landman, the new representative of the Netherlands to the Conference on Disarmament.

For eight years, the Conference on Disarmament has similarly been stymied.

We call upon the members of the Conference on Disarmament to demonstrate similar flexibility.

The Conference on Disarmament remains deadlocked.
