DRAFT RESOLUTION SUBMITTED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF FRANCE CONCERNING THE REGULATION AND REDUCTION OF ARMAMENTS AND ARMED FORCES ON 14 OCTOBER 1949

The Security Council recognizes as an essential part of any effective system of disarmament the submission by States of full information on conventional armaments and armed forces together with adequate procedures for complete verification of such information. As regards the principle of submitting information on atomic weapons, the Council recalls that the submission of full information on atomic material and facilities, including atomic weapons, is an integral part of the United Nations plan of control and prohibition approved by the General Assembly on 4 November 1948, to ensure the use of atomic energy only for peaceful purposes and to ensure effective prohibition of atomic weapons.
