The Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has contained the number of nuclear states.

An FMCT is a logical and necessary amendment to the NPT as well as to the CTBT.

Rescuing Nuclear Non Proliferation

Obama clearly recognizes that the NPT needs to be strengthened in order to prevent countries from turning their civil nuclear power capacity into weapons.

Cases of non compliance have been witnessed. An FMCT would limit and put under an inspection regime the number of nuclear material processing facilities and thus reduce the probability of non compliance with NPT.

The Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty review conference will begin the work of adapting the NPT to our rapidly changing world.

one stated withdrawal from the NPT

Thanks to the NPT, however, this is not the case.

We are also a party to the NPT.

Ukraine is fully committed to the goals of the Mine Ban Treaty.

Amendments to the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (Treaty of Tlatelolco)

We continue to regard the NPT as a deeply flawed and discriminatory treaty.

The Non Proliferation Treaty, with 188 States parties, is truly a global treaty.

For its part, the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (Tlateloco Treaty) is an inspiring landmark in global efforts to promote nuclear disarmament and non proliferation.

It is not a coincidence that the CTBT and FMCT figure as numbers 1 and 3 of the 13 Practical Steps for disarmament set out in the 2000 NPT Review Conference outcome.

Inclusion of stocks in an FMCT has its merits.

The NPT rests on three pillars non proliferation, disarmament and peaceful nuclear cooperation.

Negative security assurances are vital to the strengthening of the NPT.

2000 Review Conference of the Parties to the NPT

Within a few weeks, both sides had agreed to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Last year we announced that we would join the Mine Ban Treaty.

An FMCT will have great value. Its importance and priority was recognized in the Final Documents of the 1995 and 2000 NPT Review Conferences.

The NPT regime stands on three pillars non proliferation, nuclear disarmament, and peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

The nuclear non proliferation regime is equipped with a number of acts of international law, like the Non Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

An equitable and verifiable FMT could in part bring non NPT nuclear weapon States into the non proliferation regime.

The report states Other delegations were of the view that the mandate would permit consideration not only of future but also of past production. Therefore, the insistence by some countries on the exclusion of stockpiles from the FMCT is incompatible with the spirit and letter of the NPT and does not reflect the wishes of the large majority of States, which would like to see comprehensive nuclear disarmament as soon as possible.

The integrity and viability of the NPT also depend on States parties fulfilling their non proliferation commitments.

The outcome of the Review Conference of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty was undeniably frustrating.

In 2003, North Korea abandoned the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.

Today s NPT comes close to reflecting such conditions.

We are party to the NPT and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Recent international situations have not made life any easier for us.

The CD and the NPT regime are separate entities, with respective roles to play.

Those provisions of the Convention were fully consistent with the NPT.

We will continue to take an active and constructive part in the NPT review process.

However, it neglects the fact that any greater reward for non membership in the NPT or further disruption of the balance between rights and obligations of NPT members under the non proliferation regime will lead to its disintegration rather than the intended strengthening.
