UN General Assembly
1975

40. The unanimous adoption of the Final Document of the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons [AjC.lj 1068, annex I] last May, aimed at consolidation of the regime established by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons [resolution 2373 (XXII), annex], should in my view be welcomed as one positive step forward in this direction. I should like to recall, however, that at that Conference many non-nuclear- weapon States, including Japan, emphasized a cardinal point: namely, that the nuclear-weapon States should exert more vigorous efforts in the future to achieve nuclear disarmament.
