Especially the practical steps on implementing the 1995 Resolution endorsed by all state parties in 2010 Review Conference should be carried out earnestly.
3.Israel should accede to the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear-weapon State and place all its nuclear facilities under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards.
