text: aims, I think, of my own country as well as those of others. I can only speak for the United Kingdom: our aims are very straightforward. They are to uphold our commitment that we have entered into under the non-proliferation Treaty and, more specifically, under article I of that Treaty. Perhaps I might just remind this meeting of what that article states. "Each nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty undertakes not to transfer to any recipient whatsoever nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or indirectly; and not in any way to assist, encourage, or induce any non-nulcear-weapon State to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, or control over such weapons or explosive devices." It was to fulfil those obligations that our action was aimed, and that was the sole aim. Similarly, we would look to all non-nuclear-weapon States parties to the non-proliferation Treaty to scrupulously fulfil their obligations under article II of the Treaty. That article states that: "Each non-nulcear-weapon State Party to the Treaty undertakes not to receive the transfer from any transferor whatsoever of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or of control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or indirectly; not to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices; and not to seek or receive any assistance in the manufacture of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices." In our view, activities which might call into question the fulfilment of this commitment should be condemned by all parties to the Treaty and by all supporters of the principle of non-proliferation. The PRESIDENT : I thank Ambassador Solesby for her statement and for the kind words she addressed to the Chair. Does any other member wish to take the floor? I recognize the distinguished representative of the United States.
analysis: The text appears to be a diplomatic statement discussing the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, specifically the obligations and commitments of countries under the non-proliferation Treaty. It does not mention any economic, environmental, or social issues, and its focus is solely on international relations and disarmament.
