Written Statement of the Governmentof India STATEMENT

The existence of nuclear weapons poses a threat to

the very survival of mankind. While the end of the Cold War
has ushered in some positive developments, the shadow of a

nuclear holocaust continues to loom over us. It is,
therefore, imperative that nuclear weapons be eliminated. A

first step in this direction would be to outlaw the use of
such weapons.
