Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 8 December 2005  [on the report of the First Committee (A/60/463)]  60/79.  Reducing nuclear danger        The General Assembly,    Bearing in mind that the use of nuclear weapons poses the most serious threat  to mankind and to the survival of civilization,    Reaffirming that any use or threat of use of nuclear weapons would constitute a  violation of the Charter of the United Nations,    Convinced that the proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects would  seriously enhance the danger of nuclear war,    Convinced also that nuclear disarmament and the complete elimination of  nuclear weapons are essential to remove the danger of nuclear war,    Considering that, until nuclear weapons cease to exist, it is imperative on the  part of the nuclear-weapon States to adopt measures that assure non-nuclear-weapon  States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons,    Considering also that the hair-trigger alert of nuclear weapons carries  unacceptable risks of unintentional or accidental use of nuclear weapons, which  would have catastrophic consequences for all mankind,    Emphasizing the imperative need to adopt measures to avoid accidental,  unauthorized or unexplained incidents arising from computer anomaly or other  technical malfunctions,    Conscious that limited steps relating to detargeting have been taken by the  nuclear-weapon States and that further practical, realistic and mutually reinforcing  steps are necessary to contribute to the improvement in the international climate for  negotiations leading to the elimination of nuclear weapons,    Mindful that the reduction of tensions brought about by a change in nuclear  doctrines would positively impact on international peace and security and improve  the conditions for the further reduction and the elimination of nuclear weapons,    Reiterating the highest priority accorded to nuclear disarmament in the Final  Document of the Tenth Special Session of the General Assembly 1 and by the  international community,  _______________  1 Resolution S-10/2.
