1. The complete prohibition and thorough destruction
of nuclear weapons must be realized and thus establishing a
world free of nuclear weapons. This will
fundamentally remove the threat of nuclear weapons to
mankind and greatly enhance world peace and
security.
2. To achieve the objectives above,
all States Parties should respect each other?s sovereignty
and territorial integrity, abide by the Charter of the
United Nations as well as other basic norms governing
international relations, and avoid the use or threat of use
of forces as a means to pursue national
objectives.
3. All States parties should pursue
a new security concept based upon mutual trust, mutual
benefit, equality and cooperation, commit themselves to the
establishment of a just and equitable new international
political and economic order so as to ensure common security
for all, and create a favorable international
environment for progress in nuclear
disarmament.
4. Countries should refrain from
introducing weapons to the outer space and conclude
international treaties in this regard through negotiations,
so as to maintain global strategic balance and stability and
to promote nuclear disarmament.
5. The ABM
Treaty is a cornerstone of global strategic balance and
stability. Any damage or violation against it will
have a negative impact on global strategic balance and
stability and run counter to the efforts of nuclear
disarmament and non-proliferation.
6. Any
nuclear disarmament measures, including various interim
measures, should follow the principles of maintaining global
strategic stability and undiminished security for all and in
a way conducive to enhancing international peace and
security.
7. The nuclear weapon
States possessing the largest nuclear arsenals bear special
responsibility for nuclear disarmament and should take the
lead in reducing their nuclear arsenals drastically in a
legally binding form. The nuclear weapons reduced should be
destroyed. This will create conditions for other nuclear
weapon states to join in the nuclear disarmament
process.
8. The reduction of nuclear weapons
should be carried out according to the principles of being
effectively verifiable, irreversible and legally
binding.
9. All nuclear weapon States should
undertake not to be the first to use nuclear weapons and not
to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against
non-nuclear weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones at
any time and under any circumstances, and on that basis,
conclude international legal instruments in this
regard.
10. The nuclear weapon States should
undertake to withdraw and return home all the nuclear
weapons deployed outside of their own
territories..
11. The nuclear weapon States and
the non nuclear weapons states offering and
receiving ?nuclear protection? should forgo their policy of
?nuclear umbrella? and ?nuclear-sharing?.
12.
No State should research and develop low-yield and
more-easily-used nuclear weapons.
13. The
nuclear weapon States should take all necessary steps to
avoid accidental or unauthorized launches of unclear
weapons.
14. Countries that have not yet signed
and ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty
should do so as soon as possible so that the Treaty may
enter into force at an early date according to its
provisions. Nuclear-weapon States should continue
their moratoria on nuclear testing.
15. The
Conference on Disarmament in Geneva should, on a basis of
a comprehensive and balanced program of work,
begin at an early date negotiations on nuclear disarmament
and a treaty banning the production of fissile materials for
nuclear weapons.
16. Countries that have not
yet done so should accede to the Treaty on the
Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at an early
date.
17. Having taken the above-mentioned
measures, a treaty on the complete prohibition and thorough
destruction of nuclear weapons should be concluded through
negotiations and thus realizing a world free of nuclear weapons.
