Summary
Calls upon the nuclear-weapon States to undertake the step-by-step reduction of the nuclear threat and a phased programme of progressive and balanced deep reductions of nuclear weapons, and to carry out effective nuclear disarmament measures with a view to the total elimination of these weapons within a time-bound framework; calls upon the Conference on Disarmament to establish, on a priority basis, an ad hoc Committee on nuclear disarmament to commence negotiations early in 1997 on a phased programme of nuclear disarmament and for the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons within a time-bound framework through a nuclear weapons convention; urges the Conference on Disarmament to take into account in this regard the proposal of the 28 delegations for a programme of action for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
