Summary
Calls upon all States, immediately following the identification of any new type of weapon of mass destruction, to commence negotiations on its prohibition with the simultaneous introduction of a moratorium on its practical development; once again urges all States to refrain from any action that could adversely affect the efforts aimed at preventing the emergence of new types of weapons of mass destruction and new systems of such weapons; calls again all States to undertake efforts to ensure that ultimately scientific and technological achievements may be used solely for peaceful purposes.
