Nuclear weapons - immediate steps. Report on working group one

The discussion focused on actions that could be taken immediately or in the near future to reduce the risks posed by nuclear weapons. Many important steps were taken in this direction during the last decade, but in recent years progress in nuclear arms control has slowed down. This is worrying because he risks posed by nuclear arsenals are much greater than they should be in the post-cold-war period. In addition many non-nuclear-weapon states are disappointed in the slow pace of reductions and in the unwillingness of nuclear-weapon states to take seriously their obligation under the Non-proliferation Treaty to 'pursue negotiations in good fate' for nuclear disarmament
