Throughout this period of stalemate, the United States has opposed negotiating mandates on PAROS and on nuclear disarmament, while China has opposed negotiations on a fissile material cutoff treaty in the absence of negotiations on PAROS. France, the United States, and the United Kingdom opposed the creation of an ad hoc committee on nuclear disarmament, viewing the NPT Review Conferences as the appropriate multilateral body for this task {850-9401bSUG96 2.12}. http://www.idds.org/issNucTreatiesGlobal.html   (4241 words)      Disarmament « Warfare and Conflict « Issues « Society On Disarmament - Message to the General Assembly of the United Nations stating that disarmament efforts cannot concern only some countries or be centered on one type of weapon.

The Nuclear-Weapons States – China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States – were reminded that Article VI made it clear that the obligation fell on each of the parties to the Treaty.
