text: State the test ban has become a long-term goal. JSMVjcl A/C.l/40/PV.9 61 (Mr. Shah Nawaz, Pakistan) My delegation continues to believe that a comprehensive test-ban treaty, besides being a vital first step towards the goal of general and complete disarmament, is also a measure which is most easily achievable. The question of verification, like any other issue, is capable of being resolved in the process of negotiation. Its prior resolution cannot, on grounds of reason or logic, be made a pre-condition for starting negotiations. To the argument that a test ban would not lead to reductions in nuclear armaments, my delegation would point out that reductions, even deep reductions, in nuclear armaments, as a first step, would not stop the unending qualitative improvement of nuclear weapons. we therefore welcome the decision of the Soviet Union to impose a unilateral moratorium on its nuclear testing and we appeal to the other nuclear-weapon States to join in this moratorium as a first move towards the conclusion of a comprehensive test-ban treaty. Cessation of the nuclear-arms race and nuclear disarmament, and prevention of nuclear war, are two other items on the agenda of the Conference on Disarmament on which it has, unfortunately, not been possible even to initiate meaningful structured discussions. At the heart of this failure lie the strategic doctrines of the super-Powers. But those who possess nuclear weapons and agree that "a nuclear war.cannot be won and hence must never be fought", continue to enhance their ability to wage the nuclear war which they admit cannot be fought. For us the proposition that when nuclear weapons exist the possibility of a nuclear conflagration breaking out also exists, is self-evident. There is no denying the fact that the primary responsibility for nuclear disarmament rests with the two super-Powers, who between them control 95 per cent 
analysis: The text appears to be a diplomatic statement discussing the topic of nuclear disarmament, specifically the possibility of a comprehensive test-ban treaty. The language used is formal and diplomatic, with references to international organizations and the actions of superpowers. The tone is critical of the current state of nuclear disarmament efforts and calls for action to prevent nuclear war. Given the content and tone of the text, it is likely that the category is related to international relations and security.
