text: that the most effective guarantee against the danger of nucrear war lies in thecomprete erimination of nuclear weapons and that, pendinE the achievernent ofnuclear disarmament', the use of nuclear weapons should be prohibited. rn theirview' nuclear weapons are more than weapons of war; they are inst,rument.s of massannihilation and thus the conseguences of their use would inevitabry extend farbeyond the target and the purpose of their use. Therefore, they find itunacceptable that the security of all states and the very surviiral of mankindshould be held hostage to the security policies and interests of nuclear-weaponstates' rn the face of the enormity of the global devastat,ion that may be wroughtby nuclear leeapons, they consider legal iustiticat.ions for the use of nuclearhteapons without foundation, noting that such neapons were unknown when the charterof Ehe united Nations was drafted. They recognize that it is primarily theresponsibility of the nuclear-weapon states to prevent, a nuclear war but considerthat the probrem cannot be left to those states alone. They have repeat,edly calledfor the initiation of multirateral negotiat.ions in the conference on Disarmament onappropriate and practical measures for the prevention of nuclear war. They believethat such measures must take into account the security interests of nuclear andnon-nuclear-weapon states alike and must ensure that the survivar of mankind is notendangered' rn that context, they reject atl doctrines and concepts justifying thepossession of nuclear weapons and their use in any circumstances. Apart from the prohibition of the use of nuclear weapons, non-aligned countries have advocatedvarious measures for the prevention of nuclear war, such as the cessation ofnuclear-weapon tests and a freeze on nuclear arsenals. They have also stressed theinportance of the prevention of an arms race in outer space (see cDl34I, cD/5L3 andcDls1s) .
analysis: The text appears to be discussing international relations and disarmament, specifically the dangers and consequences of nuclear war. It seems to be advocating for measures to prevent nuclear war, including the complete elimination of nuclear weapons, and rejecting doctrines that justify their possession or use. The text also mentions the importance of considering the security interests of all states, not just nuclear-weapon states.
