STATEMENTS by the United Kingdom Delegate, Lord Chalfont, at the Eighth Session of the Eighteen-Nation Disarmament Committee.-Geneva, 29th July-12th August, 1965(1)

1.-NON-DISSEMINATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS, 29TH JULY 1965.(2)

There is no need for me, in this Assembly of all places, to dwell on the dangers that will threaten us if we do not reach a nondissemination agreement in the very near future. The distinguished representative of the United States, Mr. Foster, in a most important article(3) which he published recently, has suggested that the time left to us might be measured in months, rather than years. And I recall vividly the words of that great President of his country, John Kennedy, who said that in a world of many nuclear Powers there would be "no peace, no stability and no prospect of disarmament". It might be well for us to ponder a moment on those last four words-"no prospect of disarmament”.

In an attempt to stop the spread of nuclear weapons we are not dealing simply with one of the possible approaches to disarmament. If we fail in this, if we are forced into a world in which nuclear weapons are accepted as casually and readily as rifles and tanks are accepted now, we may find that every road leading to (1) See Miscellaneous No. 8 (1966) (Cmnd. 3020).

disarmament and a peaceful world is finally and irrevocably blocked. There is evidence encouraging evidence that not only the United States but also the other great nuclear Power in the world, the Soviet Union, shares our deep concern about these dangers. Now is the time for us to act, and this Committee is the proper forum.

The United Kingdom believe that the Committee should now start to consider an agreement which would bind the nuclear Powers not to transfer control of nuclear weapons to nonnuclear Powers or to assist non-nuclear Powers in making these weapons: and which would at the same time bind the nonnuclear Powers neither to manufacture nor to seek control of nuclear weapons. In this work the United Kingdom hopes to make positive proposals for solving the problems involved. And we look forward to contributions from other delegations around the table.

My Government have very well understood the feeling, expressed by a number of delegations in New York, that agreement on preventing the spread of nuclear weapons might be helped by including in it a programme of related measures. In general, the measures proposed, such as the conclusion of a comprehensive test ban, and a beginning in the destruction of nuclear weapons are, in our view, important requirements in their own right, which we should like to see considered concurrently with a non-dissemination agreement. The earlier we can reach agreement on them, the better. This seems to us to be primarily a question of timing. If they can be agreed at the same time as a non-dissemination agreement, this would be most desirable.

But, in our view, the most urgent requirement of all is a nondissemination agreement. The time for this is running out fast and, if we miss our opportunity, we could well find ourselves reaching a point of no return. If agreement on related measures is delayed, I urge that that should not make us wait. We should be prepared to conclude a non-dissemination agreement on its own and for its own sake.

2. COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY, 29TH JULY, 1965.(4)

Another measure, for which urgent consideration was called in Resolution 225,(5) was, as I have said, the conclusion of a comprehensive test ban. If agreement could be reached on this, it Miscellaneous No. 8 (1966) (Cmnd. 3020), Speech 42. (5) Ibid., Document No. 5.
