Preservation of and compliance with the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems

Calls for continued efforts to strengthen the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems; calls also for renewed efforts by each of the States parties to preserve and strengthen the Treaty through full and strict compliance; calls upon the parties to the Treaty to limit the deployment of anti-ballistic missile systems, to refrain from the deployment of anti-ballistic missile systems for the defence of the territory of their country; considers that the implementation of any measure undermining the purposes and the provisions of the Treaty also undermines global strategic stability and world peace and the promotion of further strategic nuclear arms reductions; urges all Member States to support efforts aimed at stemming the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; supports further efforts by the international community towards safeguarding the inviolability and integrity of the Treaty; welcomes the decision taken by the United States on 1 Sept. 2000 not to authorize deployment of a national missile.
