Disarmament and Nonproliferation

Disarmament and Nonproliferation

 

(GC(48)/OR.6, Para 67) Mr. DAUD MOHAMAD (Malaysia), speaking on behalf of NAM, drew attention to certain points of relevance to the Agency and its work contained in the final document of the XIV Ministerial Conference of NAM, held in Durban, South Africa, in August 2004, and to the Durban Declaration on Multilateralism issued by that Conference. In the Durban Declaration, the NAM Ministers had expressed strong concern at the growing resort to unilateralism and unilaterally imposed methods, and had reaffirmed the Movement’s commitment to advancing multilateralism. Concerning nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, they had welcomed the adoption of General Assembly resolution 58/44 on the promotion of multilateralism in the area of disarmament and non-proliferation, and had again emphasized the importance of efforts aiming at non-proliferation being parallel to simultaneous efforts aiming at nuclear disarmament. The Ministers had further reaffirmed the inalienable right of developing countries to engage in research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination, and had continued to note with concern that undue restrictions on exports to developing countries of material, equipment and technology for peaceful purposes persisted. In that regard, the Ministerial Conference had expressed strong rejection of attempts by any Member State to use the Agency’s technical cooperation programme as a tool for political purposes in violation of the Agency’s Statute.
