Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world.

In his Jerusalem address, he reaffirmed America s commitment to preserving Israel s security while pledging to control Syria s chemical weapons stockpile and to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, non P5 nuclear weapons states continue to expand their arsenals, with Pakistan and India estimated to have nearly tripled their stockpiles during the past decade.

Will the North s would be leaders be able to manage the country s stock of nuclear weapons responsibly and safely without transferring a few of them abroad, much less respond to international pressure to dismantle them in a reasonable and flexible manner?

It has all the ingredients, though painful memories of World War II and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have so far kept its leaders well away from developing a nuclear stockpile.

They discourage non nuclear weapon States from opting for nuclear weapons.

The nuclear weapons non proliferation regime and the nuclear weapons elimination regime were interdependent and necessary for achieving the main objective of NPT, which was the elimination of nuclear weapons within the framework of an effective international monitoring system.

Nuclear weapon free zones are of great significance in promoting nuclear disarmament, preventing proliferation of nuclear weapons and enhancing regional and global peace and stability.

Its key objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology...and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament.

Negotiations towards a Nuclear Weapons Convention or a framework of instruments for the complete abolition and elimination of nuclear weapons

The total elimination of nuclear weapons was the only guarantee against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons.

A licence is refused if such export is incompatible with Switzerland's international obligations, the non legally binding international control measures to which Switzerland subscribes or embargo measures, or if there are grounds for believing that the items in question would be used for the purposes of terrorism or organized crime

The question of the security of non nuclear weapon States parties to the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) against use or threat of use of nuclear weapons has been an important issue since the inception of the NPT.

The NPT was crucial to efforts to halt the vertical and horizontal proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Finland regards the Treaty and associated regime on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as the key element to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

Mexico believes that non proliferation and nuclear disarmament are two sides of the same coin, and in this sense, that denuclearized zones further the goal of the total elimination of nuclear weapons.

We recognize that the only full guarantee against the use of nuclear weapons would be complete security of nuclear materials and a world free of all nuclear weapons.

Reaffirming the commitment of the international community to the goal of the total elimination of nuclear weapons and the establishment of a nuclear weapon free world,

Nuclear weapon free zones contributed significantly to the promotion of nuclear non proliferation.
