Nuke disarmament can be achieved by multilateral framework: India

UNITED NATIONS: India has said the goal of nuclear disarmament can be achieved through a step-by-step process underwritten by a “universal commitment” and an agreed multilateral framework that is global and non-discriminatory.

In a written submission to the UN General Assembly, India has underscored the need for “a meaningful dialogue” among all nuclear weapons countries to build trust and confidence. It also calls for reducing the salience of nuclear weapons in international affairs and security doctrines.

India’s submission made in May is part of a UN report made public today. It also includes submissions of several other countries.

In its submission, India said it is convinced that the goal of nuclear disarmament can be achieved by a step-by-step process “underwritten by a universal commitment” and an agreed multilateral framework that is global and non-discriminatory.

Nuclear disarmament refers to both the act of reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons and to the end state of a nuclear-weapons-free world, in which nuclear weapons are completely eliminated. (AGENCIES)
