The President
The Assembly has before it twenty-nine draft resolutions recommended by the First Committee in paragraph 90 of its report. One draft decision recommended is in paragraph 91 of the same report.
I now give the floor to the representative of Ireland.
Ms. Murnaghan (Ireland)
I asked for the floor on behalf of the sponsors of draft resolution A/C.1/57/L.3/Rev.1, included as draft resolution B in document A/57/510. The sponsors of the draft resolution warmly welcome the accession by Cuba to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and its ratification of the Treaty of Tlatelolco.
When the draft resolution was adopted in the First Committee on 25 October 2002, Cuba had signalled its intention to assume these obligations. However, all necessary procedures could not be completed before the First Committee concluded its work. The sponsors of the draft resolution are agreed that it would be appropriate to reflect these developments in the text to be considered by the General Assembly. On their behalf, therefore, I wish to propose a technical amendment to the twenty-fourth preambular paragraph of draft resolution B. We propose that it be amended to read "Welcoming Cuba's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and its ratification of the Treaty of Tlatelolco". We ask that the draft resolution, as now orally amended, be put to the Assembly for consideration.
The President
I now give the floor to the representative of Brazil.
Mr. Mourao (Brazil)
Since the First Committee, by an overwhelming majority adopted draft resolution A/C.1/57/L.34, entitled "Nuclear-weapon-free southern hemisphere and adjacent areas", Cuba has deposited in Mexico City the instruments of ratification of the Treaty of Tlatelolco. With this decision, the ratification process of Tlatelolco is completed. We were also informed in the last few days of important developments regarding the South-East Asia nuclear-free zone. All 10 South-East Asian countries, as envisaged by the Treaty of Bangkok, have already ratified this important Treaty. After consultations with sponsors and interested delegations on the possibility of amending draft resolution L.34 to reflect these new developments, the Brazilian delegation proposes the following amendments to draft resolution L.34, "Nuclear-weapon-free southern hemisphere and adjacent areas".
The third preambular paragraph would read as follows: "Welcoming the ratification by Cuba of the Treaty of Tlatelolco, which fulfilled the establishment of the first inhabited nuclear-weapon-free zone, encompassing all States of Latin America and the Caribbean".
In operative paragraph 2, delete the words "Tlatelolco" and "Bangkok", so that this paragraph would read as follows: "Calls for the ratification of the Treaties of Rarotonga and Pelindaba by all States of the region, and calls upon all concerned States to continue to work together in order to facilitate adherence to the protocols to nuclear-weapon-free zone treaties by all relevant States that have not yet done so".
On behalf of the sponsors, we recommend to the General Assembly the approval of this draft resolution, as amended.
The President
I now give the floor to the representative of Japan.
Mr. Ishikawa (Japan)
Subsequent to adoption of the draft resolution entitled "A path to the total elimination of nuclear weapons" (A/C.1/57/L.42) by the First Committee on 23 October 2002, the Republic of Cuba acceded to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Japan, on behalf of the sponsors of that draft resolution, would like to orally propose that the draft resolution be amended to reflect this new development. Therefore we recommend that in the third preambular paragraph amend "and welcoming the decision" to read as follows: "and welcoming the Republic of Cuba's accession to the Treaty". Therefore, the third preambular paragraph now reads as follows:
"Reaffirming the crucial importance of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as the cornerstone of the international regime for nuclear non-proliferation and as an essential foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament, and welcoming the Republic of Cuba's accession to the Treaty".
The President
I now call upon the representative of Poland.
Mr. Lemanski (Poland)
I would like to present an oral technical revision to draft resolution A/C.1/57/L.48, entitled "Implementation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction".
When Poland and Canada introduced this draft resolution to the First Committee in October 2002, the number of States parties to the Convention was 145. But, as all members certainly know, since then and before the General Assembly has taken action on this draft resolution, two States -- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Samoa -- have acceded to the Convention, bringing the total number of States parties to 147. Poland and Canada would very much like these facts to be reflected in the final text of the draft resolution. An updated third preambular paragraph would then read as follows:
"Noting with satisfaction that since the adoption of resolution 56/24 K, four additional States have ratified or acceded to the Convention, bringing the total number of States parties to the Convention to one hundred and forty-seven,".
The Acting President
I shall now put the 29 draft resolutions A to CC and the draft decision to the Assembly one by one. We will take up the oral amendments to draft resolutions B, P, U and Y when we come to each of the draft resolutions. After all the decisions have been taken, representatives will again have the opportunity to explain their vote.
Draft resolutions A to CC are to be found in paragraph 90 of section III of the report of the First Committee.
We turn first to draft resolution A, entitled "Reduction of non-strategic nuclear weapons".
