SUBJECT: TEXT OF UNSC NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND 
NONPROLIFERATION NUCLEAR RESOLUTION 
 
¶1. (U) On September 18, USUN asked the UN Secretariat put 
into blue the text of the draft resolution on nuclear 
nonproliferation and nuclear disarmament, to be adopted at 
the Security Council Summit on September 24 convened by the 
U.S.  The full text is in paragraph 2. 
 
 
¶2. (U) Begin text of draft resolution: 
 
The Security Council, 
 
Resolving to seek a safer world for all and to create the 
conditions for a world without nuclear weapons, in accordance 
with the goals of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
Nuclear Weapons (NPT), in a way that promotes international 
stability, and based on the principle of undiminished 
security for all, 
 
Reaffirming the Statement of its President adopted at the 
Council's meeting at the level of Heads of State and 
Government on 31 January 1992 (S/23500), including the need 
for all Member States to fulfill their obligations in 
relation to arms control and disarmament and to prevent 
proliferation in all its aspects of all weapons of mass 
destruction, 
 
Recalling also that the above Statement (S/23500) underlined 
the need for all Member States to resolve peacefully in 
accordance with the Charter any problems in that context 
threatening or disrupting the maintenance of regional and 
global stability, 
 
Reaffirming that proliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction, and their means of delivery, constitutes a 
threat to international peace and security, 
 
Bearing in mind the responsibilities of other organs of the 
United Nations and relevant international organizations in 
the field of disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation, 
as well as the Conference on Disarmament, and supporting them 
to continue to play their due roles, 
 
Underlining that the NPT remains the cornerstone of the 
nuclear non-proliferation regime and the essential foundation 
for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament and for the peaceful 
uses of nuclear energy, 
 
Reaffirming its firm commitment to the NPT and its conviction 
that the international nuclear non-proliferation regime 
should be maintained and strengthened to ensure its effective 
implementation, 
 
Calling for further progress on all aspects of disarmament to 
enhance global security, 
 
Recalling the Statement by its President adopted at the 
Council's meeting held on 19 November 2008 (S/PRST/2008/43), 
 
Welcoming the decisions of those non-nuclear-weapon States 
that have dismantled their nuclear weapons programs or 
renounced the possession of nuclear weapons, 
 
Welcoming the nuclear arms reduction and disarmament efforts 
undertaken and accomplished by nuclear-weapon States, and 
underlining the need to pursue further efforts in the sphere 
of nuclear disarmament, in accordance with Article VI of the 
NPT, 
 
Welcoming in this connection the decision of the Russian 
Federation and the United States of America to conduct 
negotiations to conclude a new comprehensive legally binding 
agreement to replace the Treaty on the Reduction and 
Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, which expires in 
December 2009, 
 
Welcoming and supporting the steps taken to conclude 
nuclear-weapon-free zone treaties and reaffirming the 
conviction that the establishment of internationally 
recognized nuclear-weapon-free zones on the basis of 
arrangements freely arrived at among the States of the region 
concerned, and in accordance with the 1999 United Nations 
Disarmament Commission guidelines, enhances global and 
regional peace and security, strengthens the nuclear 
non-proliferation regime, and contributes toward realizing 
the objectives of nuclear disarmament, 
 
Noting its support, in this context, for the convening of the 
Second Conference of States Parties and signatories of the 
Treaties that establish Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zones to be held 
in New York on 30 April 2010,
