UN General Assembly
1968

78. On the question how best to assure the security of non-nuclear-weapon States, the Conference recommended that the non-nuclear States study the possibility of establishing by treaty the military denuclearization of their zones, provided that political and security conditions permit. 79. The Declaration of the Conference [ibid., p.17] sets forth succinctly the general purport and tenor of the main resolutions adopted and also the view of the Conference on the question of security. 80. In regard to the implementation of the Conference decisions, the General Assembly has been invited to consider, at its present session, “the best ways and means for the implementation of the decisions taker by the Conference” and to consider, at a subsequent session, the question of convening a second conference of non-nuclear-weapon States. 81. On the question of security of non-nuclear-weapon States against the nuclear threat, the discussions of the Conference were inconclusive. However, the Declaration of the Conference, which was unanimously adopted, stresses the necessity of further steps for an early solution of the question of security assurances in the nuclear era.
